The earliest evidence of the existence of silk came to us from 4000-3000. BC e from China.

In antiquity, most Romans, great lovers of silk, were convinced that the Chinese made fabric from the leaves of trees. Pliny the Elder was more knowledgeable. Speaking of “bombyx” (silkworm), he wrote in his “Natural History”: “they weave like a spider web, which becomes a luxurious fabric for clothes and is called silk.”

The silk thread is close in chemical composition to human hair or animal hair: 97% of it consists of protein, the rest is wax and fats.

Silk has its own unique features:

• High density, wear resistance;
