Natural, although you wouldn't want to touch it in its natural state. Silk is a cousin to spiderwebs; both are natural fibrous secretions from bugs.
It takes a LOT of processing to convert bug spit into fine clothing; so, the fiber is natural but silk itself is 90% man-made. Of course, the same could be said about wool or cotton.
