What is silk?
Mulberry silk is the term for the best silk quality. It comes from silkworms that are bred in captivity under very controlled conditions. The larvae originate from the butterfly (moth) - Bombyx mori, which can not fly, is blind and whose sole purpose is to lay eggs, which can ensure the next generation of silk butterfly larvae.
Mulberry silk comes from silk butterfly larvae, whose food consists of freshly chopped mulberry leaves. Mulberry silk is white and soft - in short, the most expensive silk available. Mulberry silk is also known as "cultivated silk" or "bombyx silk", but mulberry silk is the most commonly used term.

Wild silk
Tussah silk comes from larvae that eat oak leaves and what they can find in the wild. Also known as wild silk. Tussah silk is more hard and uneven than mulberry silk.
Ten times stronger than cotton
Silk is approx. 10 times as strong as cotton and approx. 2-3 times as strong as wool. Furthermore, silk is fire retardant. Silk does not "dust" like cotton does, as the cotton is made of many small fibers, which are easily released during use.
