Silk was not invented in Europe. It was invented in China. Indian monks smuggled the silk worms and mulberry leaves (because they only grow in Eastern Asia) and made silk of their own and sold it to the Europeans for a much lower price. Silk was invented around 2400 BC. I don't know when it got to Europe though. Hope this helps ^^
