Silk is a natural protein fiber, some forms of which can be woven into textiles. The protein fiber of silk is composed mainly of fibroin and is produced by certain insect larvae to form cocoons.The best-known silk is obtained from the cocoons of the larvae of the mulberry silkworm Bombyx mori reared in captivity (sericulture).ilk is described in a chapter on mulberry planting by Si Shengzhi of the Western Han (206 BC â 9 AD). There is a surviving calendar for silk production in an Eastern Han (25â220 AD) document. The two other known works on silk from the Han period are lost.
Silk paper has a soft feel which is more like a fabric than a paper. The paper is made with silk fibers that are bound together to create a lustrous paper which can be used in rubber stamping and other papercraft projects.Silk paper is ideal for projects where a little extra strength is required.These folded star paper earrings are an example of how silk paper can be used. Silk fibers are sometimes combined with other fibers, for instance cotton, and this produces a paper with a more crisp finish (more like traditional paper).ilk paper is ideal for projects where a little extra strength is required.
