Silk textiles are fabrics made from the natural protein fiber produced by silkworms, primarily the Bombyx mori species. Known for their luxurious feel and sheen, silk textiles have been used for centuries in clothing, upholstery, and decorative items. The production process involves harvesting cocoons, which are then unwound to extract long strands of silk. Silk is highly valued for its strength, softness, and ability to drape beautifully. It is often dyed in vibrant colors and can be woven into various patterns, making it a popular choice for high-end fashion and home decor. Additionally, silk textiles are breathable and hypoallergenic, adding to their appeal.
