Silk makes a very smooth fabric, and is used to make fabric because of this. The reason for the smoothness is partly because of the tightness of the weave, and the fact that silk, or rather, the silk thread, is smooth itself when put into comparison with wool, which has a thread covered in miniature hooks. Silk has no such hooks.
