      Silk is a luxurious and elegant fabric that has been prized for its beauty and quality for years. Made from the fibers of the silkworm cocoon, silk is soft, smooth and has shimmering sheen that sets apart from other fabrics.

      One of the most notable benefits of silk is its breathability. This fabric is naturally cool to the touch making it perfect for warm weather. It also has moisture –wicking properties, which help to keep you dry and comfortable.

      Silk is also hypo allergic, making it great choice for those with sensitive skin. It’s also resistant to dust mites, molds and other allergens, making it a popular choice for bedding and clothing.

      In terms of care, silk is relatively low maintenance and easy to care for. Hand washing or dry cleaning is recommended to keep the fabric looking its best. Ironing is also easy, but it’s important to use low heat setting to avoid damaging the fabric.

      Overall, silk is a timeless and sophisticated fabric that adds touch of luxury to any outfit. Whether you’re looking for stylish and comfortable shirt everyday wear, or a special occasion pierce, silk is a great choice.

      When cocoons are well taken care of,it gives massive returns not only domestically but also in the global market

      Last year, Uganda under the Tropical Institute of Development Innovations (TRIDI) sent its first samples of silk yarn  named ‘Usilk’ for testing in the European market.

      The Ugandan silk yarn was to be tested against the specifications for Grade 6A which is the best quality silk globally to begin commercial production.

      TRIDI later announced that results from Europe which indicated that Uganda’s silk yarn is within the commercial grades.
