History of Silk - Did You Know --
Silk fabric was first developed in ancient China, possibly as early as 6000 BC and definitely by 3000 BC. Silks were originally reserved for the Kings of China for their own use and gifts to others, but spread gradually through Chinese culture both geographically and socially, and then to many regions of Asia. The first evidence of the silk trade is the finding of silk in the hair of an Egyptian mummy of the 21st dynasty.
Uses of Silk
Silk's good absorbency makes it comfortable to wear in warm weather and while active. Silks low conductivity keeps warm air close to the skin during cold weather. It is often used for clothing such as shirts, blouses, formal dresses, high fashion clothes, negligees, pyjamas, robes, skirtsuits, sun dresses and underwear.
Silk's elegant, soft luster and beautiful drape makes it perfect for many furnishing applications. It is used for upholstery, wall coverings, window treatments (if blended with another fiber), rugs, bedding and wall hangings.
Silk is also used for parachutes, bicycle tires, comforter filling and artillery gunpowder bags. Early bulletproof vests were made from silk in the era of blackpowder weapons until roughly World War I. A special manufacturing process makes Silk suitable as non-absorbable surgical sutures. Chinese doctors have used Silk to make prosthetic arteries. Silk cloth is also used as a material to write on.
What is the difference between Charmeuse Silk and Habotai Silk?
Habotai silk is a basic silk, a little less expensive than Charmeuse silk. Habotai silk is soft to the touch and holds up well if washed and dried with care. Charmeuse silk is more expensive and an elegant soft silk. Often seen in exclusive clothing, Charmeuse silk is a smoother fabric with a sheen.
