Silk is a natural protein fiber, some forms of which can be woven into textiles. The protein fiber of silk is composed mainly of fibroin and is produced by certain insect larvae to form cocoons. The best-known silk is obtained from the cocoons of the larvae of the mulberry silkworm Bombyx mori reared in captivity.

Mulberry Silk

The silk that we use in all our products is Mulberry silk. it is the highest quality silk available comes from silkworms produced from the Bombyx mori moth. They’re fed an exclusive diet of mulberry leaves, which is why the luxurious fabric is known as mulberry silk.

Other silks include:

Tussar (Indian Tussar silkworm),

Eri (Castor silkworm, native to Japan, China and Thailand),

Muga (Indian Muga silkworm),

Spider (Madagascan spiders),

Cricula (Philippines, India and Indonesian Crucula silkworm),

Fagara (Attacus atlas silkworm, Sudan and China),

Anaphe ( Thaumetopoeidae silkworm, South Africa).

There are three sizes of scarf, the larger at 200cm x 45cm, the classic at 90cm x 90cm and the smaller at 50cm x 50cm.

The fibres are wound on a reel into a thread, which contains approximately 48 silk filaments. Each thread is then put on a loom to create woven fabrics.

The thread which is produced by the spinning glands of the silkworm is the finest and strongest natural fibre in the world. However, woven fabrics are susceptible to snagging so take care when wearing yours.
