Abstract
Modified silk processed according to an embodiment of the present invention is an all-natural stretchable silk textile processed without synthetics. The modified silk includes commercially-advantageous physical properties such as stretchability and it is machine washable, wrinkle resistant, stain resistant, and water proof/repellant, which render the silk very versatile and wearable. The process comprises collecting silk, boiling the silk in a water and vinegar solution, whereupon the silk becomes stretchable or elastic. The silk may then be soaked in water and vinegar to add a wrinkle resistant effect. The silk is then fabricated into a silk textile for example in a cross weave configuration, adding an elastic quality without synthetics. The finished product may then be soaked in lemon grass and water to make it stain resistant.
