Silk is not do much an invention as a discovery. ?The discovery that the cocoon of the silkworm moth lava could be boiled and unravelled as one continuous thread. This thread is then twinned with others to make a silk yarn which is woven into fabric. The secret of silk was discovered by the ancient Chinese who learned how to domesticate and farm the silk worm moths, feeding them on a type of mulberry leaf.
