Silk fabric is a luxurious textile made from the fibers produced by silkworms, primarily the Bombyx mori species. Known for its smooth texture and natural sheen, silk is often used in high-end clothing, accessories, and home furnishings. It is lightweight, breathable, and has a natural ability to regulate temperature, making it comfortable to wear in various climates. The production of silk involves a meticulous process called sericulture, where silkworms are raised and harvested for their cocoons. Once the cocoons are boiled or steamed to extract the fibers, they are spun into threads and woven into fabric. This intricate process contributes to silk's reputation as a premium material.
