Silk is a natural protein fiber, some forms of which can be woven into textiles. The protein fiber of silk is composed mainly of fibroin and is most commonly produced by certain insect larvae to form cocoons. The best-known silk is obtained from the cocoons of the larvae of the mulberry silkworm Bombyx mori reared in captivity (sericulture). The shimmering appearance of silk is due to the triangular prism-like structure of the silk fibre, which allows silk cloth to refract incoming light at different angles, thus producing different colors.
Harvested silk is produced by several insects; but, generally, only the silk of various moth caterpillars has been used for textile manufacturing. There has been some research into other types of silk, which differ at the molecular level. Silk is mainly produced by the larvae of insects undergoing complete metamorphosis, but some insects, such as webspinners and raspy crickets, produce silk throughout their lives. Silk production also occurs in hymenoptera (bees, wasps, and ants), silverfish, caddisflies, mayflies, thrips, leafhoppers, beetles, lacewings, fleas, flies, and midges. Other types of arthropods produce silk, most notably various arachnids, such as spiders.

This is a scarf for which I have been searching for a few years. It is a lovely shade of gray, soft and easy to arrange, and offers just the right amount of warmth around the shoulders or the neck. Perfect in warm weather when air conditioners are running and also perfect in winter to wear under a coat. I am very happy with this purchase.

Light, flows like air, and it is just what I was looking for. Able to dress up or down. Acts like a functional light wrap for the summer/early fall months.

This scarf works great as a light wrap or around the neck to provide a little warmth, and a pop of color in the pretty pink version! I bought this in black previously at full price and just had to grab the pink one when it was on sale! Light, soft, and much less prone to snagging as the all-silk style, this is a lovely piece to have on hand!

I originally had bought one to gift my mom, but then I had to buy one for myself. It’s elegant, has its own kind of shine, and the color is just as appears if not more beautiful.
