Silk from domesticated (mulberry) silkworms is a strong, naturally organic fiber. It was the first fiber used to make cloth. The Mulberry trees that are grown to feed silkworms sequester carbon from the atmosphere. 

Silk regulates body temperature and is flame retardant. It also dries eight times faster than cotton, doesn’t use pesticides and has less of an impact on land, water, and air. Most silk that is produced is rain-fed. It is also hypoallergenic and antibacterial.

The by-products of silk production are also utilized, with pupae being eaten by people or used as cattle feed and sericin used in cosmetics and medicine.

Baserange sources silk from farms in China, where most of the world’s silk is made. Their silk fabric supplier has a long-term relationship with these farms and visits them regularly. Sericulture or the silk industry also employs rural populations.
