Mulberry silk is the most expensive silk you can buy. The reason it is more superior than other silks is as follows. It is made by a process the Chinese developed thousands of years ago and have perfected, making them the world's experts in producing the finest silk.

Mulberry silk is made from the silkworms of the Bombyx mori moth.

The resulting mulberry silk thread is the strongest natural fiber in the world, making it incredibly durable. A silk fiber the same diameter as a fiber of steel is stronger than the steel.

The mulberry silk thread is also rounder, finer, smoother, and a lighter more uniform color than silk harvested from the wild where those silkworms have to eat whatever leaves and plants that are available to them.

Mulberry silk is also known as cultivated silk and bombyx silk but mulberry silk is the most commonly used term. It is also sometimes referred to it by its type which is thrown or reeled silk.
