ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Şilki

Silk is a special kind of fabric that comes from the cocoons of some insects called silkworms. These silkworms spin a special kind of silk thread around themselves to turn into a butterfly. People carefully collect these cocoons and then unwind the silk thread to make beautiful, soft, and shiny fabric that can be used to make clothes, blankets, and even scarves. Silk is very special because it feels very soft on your skin and it's very shiny. Some people love silk so much that they even use it to make fancy dresses for special occasions like weddings or parties.
