Coming in at number four, Mulberry Silk is Capt'n John's next selection in the list of the most expensive fabrics. Where, you may ask, does this silk come from? Well, it happens to be from the little guy above. Do you happen to know what kind of animal it is? Click through and find out.

Here is why Mulberry Silk is the #4 Most Expensive Fabric:

"Mulberry silk is a luxurious fabric that is highly sought after for its soft texture and durability. This fabric is made from the cocoons of silkworms that are fed on a diet of mulberry leaves. It is produced in countries such as China, Japan, India, and Thailand, with China being the largest producer of Mulberry silk.

The process of harvesting Mulberry silk is a delicate one. The cocoons are carefully harvested by hand, and the silk threads are then carefully extracted. This process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, which is why Mulberry silk is more expensive than other types of silk.

The cost of Mulberry silk varies depending on the quality of the fabric and the country of origin. On average, it can cost anywhere from $30 to $100 per yard. This cost is due to the high demand for Mulberry silk and the intricate process of harvesting and producing it.

Mulberry silk is used in a variety of products, such as clothing, bedding, and accessories. It is highly prized for its softness, durability, and ability to regulate temperature. This makes it an excellent choice for bedding and clothing, especially in hot weather.

Fun facts about Mulberry silk include the fact that it is hypoallergenic, making it an excellent choice for people with allergies or sensitive skin. It is also naturally resistant to molds and mildew, which is why it is often used in bedding.

As with all uses of animals, it is important to make sure you are buying from a source that treats the animals ethically."
