The
Chinese's were the first people who discovered the secret of silk
production. According to tradition, when Chinese princes having her tea
under a mulberry tree, a cocoon fell into her tea. That is how the one of
the ends of he cocoon was caught and Chinese discovered to make silk
treads and they started to used it in their weaving. In the ancient times,
the rest of the world got silk fabrics originating from Chine but never
learned about the production of the silk. It was during the time of
Justianian the Great, two monks from the church of Basil from Contantnople
went up to Chine and learned about the silk production and even stole a
cocoon and hid it in a bamboo walking stick. That is how the silk
production stared in Contantinople Istanbul
