A four-page German encyclopedia article on silk from Meyers Konversations-Lexikon (pp. 861-864). It covers the properties of the cocoon thread, killing the pupae, reeling raw silk on the Seidenhaspel, throwing (twisting) into organsine, tram, and other thread types, degumming, bleaching, and titering by denier. It also treats spun silk from waste (floret, bourrette) and wild silks (tussah and others), and gives a history of sericulture from China to Europe, 1890s production and trade statistics by country, and a bibliography.
