What is Mulberry silk?
What is so special about Mulberry silk?
The high quality and price of Mulberry silk depends on the difficult fabrication. Mulberry silk comes from China. Farmers there harvested the leaves of Mulberry bushes already thousands of years ago, to feed the caterpillars of the silkworm. The cocoons which occur out of the metamorphosis of the caterpillar, were woven to raw silk fibres. The production process was developed further and perfected throughout the years.
What is the difference between Mulberry silk and other kinds of silk?
Feeding the silkworm “Bombyx mori” with leaves from the mulberry bush only makes its silk one of the best worldwide. Mulberry silk is pure white, consists of long fibres and is finer than other kinds of silk. Other kinds of silk like Habotai are less uniform in colour and texture and consist of shorter fibres.
What are the advantages of Mulberry silk?
The Mulberry silk thread is the strongest natural fiber in the world. This leads to the fact that products made from Mulberry silk only are extremely robust and long-lasting. Hypoallergenic products do not have any allergenes. Therefore goods made from Mulberry silk are perfect for allergy sufferers.
