Silk has been revered and mystified since ancient times. The Roman philosopher and moralist Pliny Younger, in the first version, argued that Roman women loved silk too much, and this negatively affected the financial system of the entire Roman Empire.
Silk has a reliability that makes it reputable and unique among other cables.
- Shine. The particularly smooth surface of silk threads reflects light, so silk fabric has a shine that no other fabric made from natural fiber has.
- Strength. Silk is the strongest of all natural fibers. Only nylons can be compared to it, but it is synthetic.
- Colorfulness. Silk is very easy to dye, so it can have color and change depending on the temperature. The colors are painted so well that both sides of the fabric are approximately the same.
- Fortress. Silk closes stronger, but is inferior to linen and raw wool. Silk thread is resistant to fungi and molds that destroy natural fiber.
- Elasticity. A silk thread can be stretched up to 20 percent without disturbing its structure, and if it is released, it will immediately return to its original shape.
- Breathability. Silk “breathes” – its threads are sparse, which allows the skin to breathe. Silk moisturizes the skin very well while remaining exposed to the sun, so we feel comfortable in silk clothes.
- Warm. Unlike coarse and finer wool, silk fabric is not only warm, but also soft and light.
