How It's Made Silk

Silk, spun delicately by silkworms, embodies timeless elegance and luxury. Its smooth, opalescent threads whisper against the skin, capturing light like liquid moonbeams. From the ancient Silk Road to modern fashion, silk weaves a tale of history, artistry, and allure in its shimmering embrace.

ah, silk, the most humane fabric known to man, millions of baby moths, born into the world destined to die a horrible death before they even reach adulthood

Me, at the start of the video: "Wow, silkworms must live good lives, being cared for by breeders because they produce something so valuable."
Me, watching them being boiled alive: "Never mind."

Different from wild silkworm, cultivated silkworm is created by ancient Chinese. I do feel sorry for each that cannot produce their off springs. I also appreciate that human (who created them) keep the best moths to keep their population ongoing.
