Silk is natural, not a man-made polymer. The silk is mainly obtained from the cocoons of the Mulberry Silkworm (Bombyx mori). When the caterpillar forms a pupae, it encases itself in a cocoon of fine silk thread. Before the adult moth emerges, the cocoon is steeped in hot water to kill the developing moth inside.
