What is Overview of Silk: Properties and Uses about?

Silk is a natural protein fiber produced by silkworms to form cocoons. China is credited with discovering silk. The major processes in silk production are sericulture (silkworm breeding), reeling of the filament from cocoons, and throwing of silk yarns. The main types of silk are mulberry silk, tussah silk, eri silk and muga silk. Silk has a smooth texture, shine, strength and absorbency that make it desirable for clothing and textiles.
