Question

Distinguish between reeled silk and spun silk ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Reeled thread with a heavy twist is called organzine, a lighter twist is called tram. Because reeled silk is composed of VERY long filaments, it doesn't need to be twisted to hold it together. ... Because spun silk is composed of short lengths of fiber (like wool or cotton), it MUST have twist to hold it together.
