Taihu Snow Silk Innovation Update

Silk production begins with sorting cocoons by quality before soaking them in hot water to loosen proteins while preserving silk gum. During reeling, workers extract fiber ends, thread them through eyelets, and wind onto wheels. Multiple filaments combine into continuous threads, which are packaged into skeins, books, and bales. Further processing includes sorting, soaking with oils and soap, and sun-drying. Different twisting techniques create various fabric textures. After degumming, silk can be dyed either as yarn or finished fabric. The industry distinguishes between pure-dyed silk and weighted silk (containing added metals). Final treatments may include bleaching, embossing, or stiffening to achieve desired characteristics.

One of the softest fabrics on the planet, shiny, breathable and comfortable, silk has been a highly prized cloth since it was first harvested thousands of years ago. And despite advances in production methods and new possibilities for cultivation, silk production remains a labour intensive process, and involves a lot of hard work.

At TAIHU SNOW, beautiful and luxury silk items are sold with high quality and compeitive price all the time. We spare no effort to introduce clients merits of sleeping on silk, as well as how to get the best value from silk bedding or accessories. Unfortunately, the popularity of silk has attracted too many unscrupulous traders into this market. Since most consumers likely unable to tell the real silk from fake silk, it gives some dishonest merchants opportunities to disguise fake silk or inferior silk as genuine silk.
