The Luxurious Floss-Silk: A Fine and Valuable Type of Silk

Floss-silk is a type of silk that is produced by the larvae of the moth species Bombyx mori. It is also known as mulberry silk, because the caterpillars feed exclusively on the leaves of the mulberry tree (Morus sp.). Floss-silk is considered to be one of the finest and most valuable types of silk, and it has been used for centuries in traditional Japanese and Chinese clothing.
