[...] It’s amazing how something gross (sorry, I don’t really like worms) can make something so beautiful. I remember a visit to a silk factory in China years ago and it was great seeing how silk was made. Went through my old photos of the tour so that I could share some with you guys, along with some info coming from this website. [...]

Enjoyed your blog very much. you have some really interesting articles on a whole range of related topics. Makes your site well worth the visit so that people can find out more about this fantastic product.

I would just like to add that there are a few other tests you can use to make sure your silk is genuine, apart from the burn test.

Luster – if it’s real silk when you hold it up to the light the colour tone will change according to the angle you are holding it. Imitation silk does not change in colour

Wedding ring test – try pulling a yard or two of imitation fabric through your wedding ring. It’s impossible as the fabric will just crunch up. Pure silk will glide through easily

The print – pure silk will have its printed pattern on one side whilst on the reverse you will see only the outline of the print. Imitation fabrics have patterns and colours on one side but on the reverse side you will only see plain colour.

There are other tests but this comment is long enough already. Thank you again for your informative site
