There are four types of natural silk which are commercially known and produced in the world. Mulberry silk is the most important and contributes as much as 90 per cent of world production, therefore, the term "silk" refers to the silk of the mulberry silkworm.

I think I'll used it to frame an ink painting. Watch this space. Hee, hee.
