silk
-----
Fine,soft thread produced by the lavra of the silk - wirm moth ,the moth commonly cultivated species being Bombyx mori,and used in the manufacture of textiles. The 'worm' or lavra attains maturity within a month of hatching from the egg,feeding on the leaves of white mulberry trees,and then 'spins' a protective cocoon of fine silk thread. Before it can emerge as the perfect insect, when it would in natural state live for a few days,the silk maker ensures its death by plunging the cocoon in hot water or in a hot oven. To allow it to emerge would damage the thread: from such damaged cocoons the inferior spun silk is made.
wool
-------
The natural fibrous covering of the sheep,and also of the llama , angora goat,etc, . The domestic sheep, Ovis Aries,provides the great bulk of the fibres used in commerce.In Britain there are some 26 breeds ,and the wool is classified as lustre,demi- lustre,down and mountain.Lustre Wools are used for making worsted dress fabrics, linings,braids,and so on .Demi -Lustre wools are rather finer in quality ,and are used for suitings,overcoats and customers,and worsted sarge fabrics. First of English grown Wools are the down ; they are use for hosiery yarns, and some for wollen cloths.Mountain wools are coarse and poor quality , often comprising wool and hair mixed; they are useful for making carpets, homespun tweeds, and low- quality woollen suitings and hosiery!!
