Black Wild Silk

Natural wild silk fabric in a black colour. Woven from natural fibres of animal origin obtained from the silk threads that make up the cocoons of the silkworm. The process of extracting the thread is very elaborate. It is a complex process that even today is still achieved by hand for the highest quality yarns. For this reason, the higher the quality of the fabric, the higher the price. During their metamorphosis, the worms are enclosed in a cocoon made of silk thread, which consists of a very fine and strong monofilament. Before the end of the process, this cocoon is boiled in water and the thread with which the worm has "woven" the ball of silk is pulled out one by one. The purer the silk, the longer this thread is and the fewer knots are needed during spinning. Wild silk is one of the oldest known fabrics. It is used to sew high quality luxury goods. It is a strong, structured, paper-like fabric, hard-wearing and with a very elegant, slightly satin finish. It is a fine, pleasant to the touch and fresh fabric made of 100% natural silk with small knots typical of its handmade production. Very appreciated in the sew of wedding and ceremony dresses. Trust in the quality of this fabric for your sewing projects.
