Silk fabric is super special as it is made from silkworms.. It feels just really nice, and it looks fancy. Do you know where does silk come from? Let me tell you all about it!
Long ago, in ancient China, people discovered how to make silk. They discovered that silkworms weave cocoons out of silk. They were very hush-hush about their discovery at first, but eventually, other places in the world figured out how to make silk as well.
Do you know how silk is made? Silkworms eat the leaves of mulberry trees, then produce silk for cocoons. The cocoon is soaked in hot water to soften the silk threads. The threads are then unwound and spun into yarn. The yarn is turned into fabric. It’s a lot slower, but it’s also worth it!
Silk material is extremely soft and smooth, which is very comfortable to wear. It is also great for the sensitive-skinned. Silk garments are fancy and stylish, suitable for special events or day-to-day wear. It’s a good idea to purchase nice silk clothes since they will last a long time, and since they always look good.

Silk is not just for clothes. It is also used to create items for your home such as curtains, pillow and bedding. On any room: Silk adds the fancy. You can also find silk scarves, ties and other accessories to coordinate with your look. After all, silk is versatile, and can be used in a variety of ways!
Silk needs care to look good. Always check the care label of your clothes before you wash them. If you hand wash, do it in cold water, with a mild soap, and lay flat to dry. Bleach or harsh chemicals should never be used on silk as they can damage the fabric. Silk clothes are stored in a cool but ventilated place to prevent wrinkles and discoloration. Your silk apparel and home linens will last and last, if you take good care of them.
