A two-page dictionary entry on "soie" from the Nouveau Larousse Illustré, covering its many senses: bristles and hairs, the silkworm's filament, commercial silk grades, artificial silk, spider silk, and the tang of a blade. The main section describes silk production, from rearing silkworms and reeling cocons to throwing (moulinage), degumming, warping and weaving by hand (the Lyon canut) or on power looms. Illustrations show twelve stages of silk production and diagrams of taffeta, five-shaft satin and twill (serge) structures.
