Silk is considered one of the world's finest natural fibers – but how is it actually made? 🐛🧶 In this video, you'll learn where silk comes from, how silkworms spin their cocoons, and the differences between Bombyx, Tussah, and Bourette silk. We'll also explore whether silk production involves animal cruelty, what Peace Silk means, and the fiber's properties when spinning and knitting. Finally, I'll show you my current silk knitting project and share my first experiences with the yarn.
