Silk farming and weaving methods are thousands of generations old. They are deeply engrained in ancient Chinese tradition and mystique. Until recently it was a closely guarded secret. So, what is Mulberry Silk and where does it come from?
We now know that Mulberry silk derives its name from when a Bombyx mori silkworm spins it very own silk cocoon.
During this time, the silkworms can eat a variety of different leaves, but the most nutrient rich and pure option is when they feast on a natural diet of mulberry leaves only
Hence the name Mulberry Silk.
China still to this day is the native and natural habitat of the Mulberry silkworm. 95% of the silk found worldwide is delicately farmed in China.
