Answer:
Artificial silk or art silk is any synthetic fiber which resembles silk, but typically costs less to produce. silk, or rayon, is made from cellulose, obtained from cotton or wood pulp. The cellulose is dissolved in a substance called alkaline carbon disulphide to make a thick liquid. This is squirted through tiny holes into a bath of acid. It reforms as fibres, which can be spun into yarn.
