What is Thai Silk from Sue's Silk? Thai silk from Sue's Silk is hand-loomed from silkworm’s cocoon. Thai silk is the least allergenic of all natural fibers. Several strands of thread are used to weave into fabric, recognized by 2 ply, 4 ply, or 6 ply. Silk has a reputation of being the most luxurious of all natural fibers. How do you know it is a fine quality silk? (1) Thai silk is recognized by its pure, natural sheen and luster. A lower grade silk is pale white in color, attributed to bleaching and chemicals in production. It lacks the natural quality. (2) Touch Thai silk is soft, smooth, and has an excellent elongation (elastic recovery). An inferior silk feels course and uneven, due to fragments of damaged cocoons and waste filaments.
