Silk yarn is produced from the fibers of silkworms, primarily the larvae of the Bombyx mori moth.

The silk is extracted by boiling the cocoons to soften the sericin, a protein that holds the fibers together, allowing the long silk threads to be unwound and spun into yarn. This process results in the lustrous, smooth material known as silk.
Will acrylic paint on yarn make it stiff?
The short answer is a qualified yes.-If you put acrylic wall paint on a single strand of yarn (natural fiber or synthetic), the yarn will be encased in a paint that will make it more rigid, and the paint will crack if you bend the yarn.- If you put acrylic wall paint on knitted yarn (for example a sweater) the acrylic will sit on the surface and dry to a hard finish. When the yarn bends (in the washer or in use) the paint will crack and eventually start to flake off, although it will not all come off.- If you put acrylic craft or artists' paint on a single strand of yarn, you will get the same result as above.- If you put acrylic craft or artists' paint on knitted yarn, yo will also get the results above.*Note*- If your desire is to paint on a knitted piece and have the yarn stay flexible, there is a paint medium used for fabrics (you can find it at most craft stores) that will make the paint more flexible and adhere better.
