Mulberry silk stands as one of the world’s most coveted materials, its rich history as intricate as the fiber itself. The meticulous production process—a harmonious blend of nature’s magic and human craftsmanship—reveals why this silk has captivated civilizations for millennia.
What Is Mulberry Silk?
Originating in China, mulberry silk represents the pinnacle of silk quality. It is spun from the delicate cocoons of Bombyx mori silkworms, which feed exclusively on white mulberry leaves. The resulting long, unbroken filaments create a fabric of unparalleled smoothness and uniform luster, far superior to wild or tussah silks.
At ASH Textile, every silk bedding and accessory is crafted from this exquisite material. Beyond interior design, mulberry silk’s unique properties have made it indispensable in wellness and beauty—a testament to its versatility among natural fibers.
How Is Mulberry Silk Made?
As briefly noted, mulberry silk begins with the domesticated Bombyx mori larvae, descendants of wild silk moths. Historically cultivated across Asia—from India to remote Russian regions—sericulture (silk farming) is a 5,000-year-old Chinese tradition.
The process:
- Feeding: Larvae consume only mulberry leaves, enriching their silk proteins.
- Spinning: After 4-6 weeks, each larva spins a cocoon from a single, continuous thread (up to 1,600 yards long).
- Harvesting: Cocoons are carefully unraveled, boiled to soften sericin (natural gum), and woven into raw silk.
- Refining: Fibers are cleansed and woven into the lustrous fabric adorning ASH Textile’s luxury bedding.
Fun fact: The term “mulberry silk” nods to the white mulberry tree (Morus alba), the silkworm’s sole food source.
