woven silk

Fabric from looms

Woven silk is fabric made by interlacing silk threads on a loom, producing textiles prized for their luster, drape, and strength.

The term distinguishes loom-made silk from knitted or printed varieties: a woven silk tie, woven silk upholstery.

Woven silk appears in fashion, interior design, and traditional crafts where the weave pattern itself contributes to the fabric's character.
