Why does The Silk Mill use 100% pure Chinese silk thread?
For over a thousand years China has nurtured the bombyx mori caterpillar (the silkworm), producing some of the finest silk in the world.  The lustruous quality and vibrant colours are unmatched by any other material known to man.
Silk is
Soft but strong
Cool but warm
Sensuous but serviceable
Simple but sophisticated
Ancient but modern
Silk is the material of choice at The Silk Mill.   Our designs are all made with silk in mind both for its colour and for its texture. 
SILK IS MAGICAL!
