Silk

Silk is a natural protein fiber, some forms of which can be woven into textiles. The best known type of silk is obtained from cocoons made by the larvae of mulberry silkworm Bombyx mori reared in captivity (sericulture). The shiny silk is prized comes the fibers of the triangular prism-like structure which allows silk cloth to refract incoming light at different angles.

A variety of wild silks have been known and used in China, South Asia and Europe since the early days, but the scale production was always much lower than that of the silk culture. They differ from the domesticated varieties in color and texture, and cocoons gathered in the wild usually have been damaged by the emerging moth before the cocoons are harvested, so the silk thread that makes up the cocoon has been broken into shorter lengths. Commercially bred pupae silkworm are killed by immersion in boiling water before the adult moths emerge, or by piercing with a needle, allowing the whole cocoon to be decrypted as a continuous thread. This allows a large heavy cloth woven silk. Wild silks also tend to be more difficult to dye than silk from silkworm cultivation.

There is some evidence that small quantities of wild silk were already being produced in the Mediterranean and the Middle East, by far the stronger, cultivated silk China began to import (Hill, 2003, Appendix C).

Silks are produced by several other bugs, but only the silk worm moth has been used for manufacturing of textiles. There has been some research into other silks, which differ at the molecular level. Silks are mainly produced by the larvae of insects that complete metamorphosis, but also by some adult insects such as webspinners. Silk production is especially common in the Hymenoptera (bees, wasps and ants), and is sometimes used in nest building. Other types of arthropod produce silk, including various arachnids such as spiders (see spider silk).

Silk fabric was first developed in ancient China, possibly as early as 6000 BC and definitely by 3000 BC. Legend gives credit to a Chinese empress, Xi Ling-Shi (Hsi-Ling-Shih, Lei-tzu). Silks were originally reserved for the kings of China for their own use and gifts to others, but spread gradually through culture China, both geographically and socially, and then to many regions of Asia. Silk quickly became a popular luxury fabric in the various areas of access to merchants Chinese because of their texture and shine. Silk was in great demand, and became a staple of pre-industrial international trade. In July 2007, archaeologists discovered intricately woven and dyed silk textiles in a tomb in Jiangxi province, dating from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, 2,500 years ago. [1] Although historians have suspected a long history of textile education in ancient China, this find of silk textiles employing "complicated techniques" of weaving and dyeing provides direct and concrete evidence of silks dating before the Mawangdui-discovery and other silks dating to the Han Dynasty (202 BC-220 AD) [1].

The first evidence of the silk trade is the discovery of silk in the hair of an Egyptian mummy of Dynasty 21, c.1070 BC [2]. Ultimately the silk trade reached to the Indian subcontinent, Middle East, Europe and North Africa. This trade was so extensive that all the main trade routes between Europe and Asia has become known as the Silk Road.

The Emperors of China strove to keep knowledge of sericulture secret to maintain the Chinese monopoly. Nonetheless sericulture reached Korea around 200 BC, roughly the first half of the first century AD had reached the ancient Khotan [2] and by the year 300 the practice had been established in India.

Silk is produced in Thailand's favorable climate by two types of silkworm cultivation Bombycidae and wild Saturniidae, all year round, especially after the rice harvest of the inhabitants of the south and northeast. Women traditionally weave silk on hand looms, and pass the skill to their daughters as weaving is considered a sign of maturity and eligibility for marriage. Thai silk textiles often use complicated patterns in various colors and styles. Most regions of Thailand have their own typical silks.

Silk, known as Pattu or Reshmi in southern parts of India and Resham Hindi / Urdu (from Persian), has a long history in India and is widely produced today. Historically silk was used by the upper classes, while cotton was used by the poorer classes. Today silk is mainly used in Bhoodhan Pochampally (also known as Silk City), Kanchipuram, Dharmavaram, Mysore, etc. in South India and Banaras in the North for manufacturing garments and saris. "Murshidabad silk", famous from historical times, is mainly produced in Malda and Murshidabad district of West Bengal and woven with hand looms in Birbhum and Murshidabad district. Another place famous for production silk is Bhagalpur. The silk from Kanchi is particularly known for its classic designs and enduring quality. The silk is traditionally hand woven and dyed by hand and general also has silver threads woven into the fabric. Most of this silk is used to make saris. The saris usually are very expensive and vibrant colors. Garments made Silk is an integral part of Indian weddings and other celebrations. In the northeastern state of Assam, three different types of silk are produced, collectively called Assam silk: Muga, Eri and Pat silk. Muga, the golden silk, and Eri are produced by silkworms that are native only to Assam. The heritage of silk rearing and weaving is very old and continues today especially in the production of Muga and Pat Riha and mekhela chador, the three-piece silk saris woven with traditional motifs. Mysore silk saris, which are known for their soft texture and last many years if carefully maintained.

In the Odyssey, 19,233, it is mentioned that Odysseus wore a shirt "bright as the dry skin of an onion" (varies with the translations, literal translation here [3]). Some researchers propose that the shirt was silk. The Roman Empire knew of and trade in silk. During the reign of emperor Tiberius, sumptuary laws were passed that forbade men to wear garments of silk, but these proved ineffective. [4] Despite the popularity of silk, the secret of silk-making only reached Europe around AD 550, through the Empire Byzantine. Legend has it that monks working for the emperor Justinian I smuggled silkworm eggs to Constantinople in hollow canes from China. While there, also noted the secret techniques of silk making from the Chinese. The Byzantines were the secrets of the Chinese for many centuries the weaving and silk trade was a strict imperial monopoly [citation needed], the highest quality all the looms and weavers were located inside the Palace complex in Constantinople and cloth produced was used in imperial robes or in diplomacy, as gifts to foreign dignitaries. The rest was sold at very high prices.

Venetian merchants traded extensively in silk and encouraged silk growers to settle in Italy. In the 13th century, Italian silk was a major source of trade. Since that period, the silk worked in the province of Como has been the most valuable silk in the world. The city's wealth was largely built on textiles, wool and silk, and other cities like Lucca also became rich on trade. Italian silk was so popular in Europe that Francis I of France invited Italian silk makers to France to create a French silk industry, especially in Lyon. Mass emigration (especially of Huguenots) during periods of religious dispute had seriously damaged French industry and introduced these various textile industries, including silk, to other countries.

James I attempted to establish silk production in England, buying and planting than 100,000 mulberry trees, some on land adjacent to Hampton Court Palace, but were of a kind unsuitable for silkworms, and the attempt failed. British company also established silk weaving in Cyprus in 1928. In England in the mid-20th century, silk was produced at Lullingstone Castle in Kent. Silkworms were raised and reeled under the direction of Zoe Lady Hart Dyke. Production started elsewhere later. In Italy, the Stazione Sperimentale was founded in Padua Bacologica in 1871 to research sericulture. In the 19th century, China, Japan and Italy were the main producers of silk. [Citation needed] Major cities for silk production in Italy were Como and Meldola (Forlì). In medieval times, it was common for silk used to make boxes for bananas produced and other fruit.

Silk was expensive in Medieval Europe and used only for the rich. Italian merchants like Giovanni Arnolfini became very rich trading on the courts of North Europe.

James I of England introduced silk growing to the American colonies around 1619, supposedly to discourage the planting of snuff. Only Shakers Kentucky adopted the practice. In late 1800 a new attempt at a silk industry began with European-born workers in Paterson, New Jersey, and the city became a U.S. silk center, although Japanese imports were even more important.

The Second World War interrupted trade Japanese silk. Silk prices increased dramatically, and U.S. industry began to look for substitutes, which led to the use of synthetic materials such as nylon. Synthetic silks have also been made from lyocell, a type of cellulose fiber, and are often difficult to distinguish from real silk (see Silk spider for more information on synthetic silks).
