Silk is obtained from the cocoons of the mulberry silkworm Bombyx mori, however, there are many more silk producing insects such as the moth caterpillars and arachnids such as spiders. It is a protein fiber that was first developed and used by China, South Asia and Europe as early as 6000 BC. Coveted by other cultures for centuries, silk became a major bargaining chip for traders in these countries. Today, more than thirty countries, including China, India and Japan, cultivate silk for mass production. The silk industry employs thousands of workers to produce silk as the continuous thin fine fiber has to be unraveled from each cocoon and spun into thread by hand in order to produce
silk fabric. This intensive hand crafting coupled with the natural silk worm farming, dyeing and final weaving make
silk fabric more expensive than man made fibers.
