fiber/cocoon.<br />

• Fineness:2.8-3.9dtex (Bombyx mori)<br />

• Absorbency: 8-9%(High heat of wetting)<br />

• Medium tenacity but higher than wool<br />

• High luster<br />

• high crystallinity and triangular cross-sectional shape.<br />

• drapability<br />

• Scroop: rustling sound due to an acid treatment that hardens fiber surface.<br />

• Lowest UV light resistance: avoid prolonged exposure to sunshine
