The production of silk is a tradition has been honored for thousands of years and has refined the care and the skill of those working with the process.

Silk is made by the silk moth, either the cultivated type who feeds on mulberry leaves, or the wild silk moth that isn’t possible to keep in captivation. The quality of the silk from the captivated and the wild silk moth differs a bit. Since it is possible to have more control over the cultivated on, this one gives long, whole thin threads from the cocoon when it is ready to harvest. The wild silk is taken from cocoons that are already abandoned and the silk comes in bits and pieces. After it has been extracted, this type of silk has to be spun in the same way as cotton and wool.

The biggest producer of exotic silk fabric in the world is China with nearly 2/3 of all silk production. India comes next and other countries with a great production are Iran, Brazil and Thailand. These countries have used silk for thousands of years for special occasions and ceremonies. Most wedding clothes and garments in those countries are traditionally made by silk.
 
For a long time, silk has also been popular in western countries, in Europe and North America. It is a fabric that is especially for those moments when we want to feel extra luxurious and special. It is a great fabric to make fine night gowns and cocktail dresses out of. Because of the sensations it gives when we feel it next to our skin it is also for many the first choice for underwear and nightwear.
