What is Silk?

Silk is a natural fiber that consists of fibroin, which is the protein some insects secrete to make cocoons. Essentially, fiber is the material these insects produce to make their cocoons and nests.

Mulberry silk is the most common type, which producers derive from Bombyx Mori, a worm that lives on a mulberry tree. This is the silkworm that the industry primarily uses in the commercial production of silks. Mulberry contributes around 90% of the total global raw silk production

What is Cashmere?

Cashmere has a close relationship with Kashmir Shawl. Cashmere first appeared around the 13th century in Kashmir. Europeans started using the fabric in the 18th century. Indian and Iranian rulers were still using it for their ceremonies in the 19th century.

The process involves shearing the fur of Cashmere and Pashmina goats, especially from the underbelly or the neck region. The shearing method is performed in the winter season due to the quality of fur produced during this season. China, Mongolia, and Afghanistan are the largest exporters of Cashmere.
