Silk
Silk is a natural protein fiber, some forms of which can be woven into textiles. Silk is the strongest natural textile in the world. It’s a smooth and sleek fiber. Silk yarns create a fabric with a drape and touch, giving garments knit with silk special fluidity. Great for lacework and tops, some may find silk yarn a tad slippery to work with.
While silk is wonderful for knitting, it’s a delicate fiber that has some special care needs. This yarn is an elegant choice for your delicate projects. Silk yarns are used for textile material and by clothiers for weaving exquisite silk scarves, shirts, ties, pocket squares, nightgowns, lingerie, evening wear, blouses, and suits. It is also used to make robes, sports coats, curtains, pillow ruffles, parachutes, bicycle tires, and medical dressings.

Synthetic
Synthetic fibres (man-made fibres) are produced by joining chemical monomers into polymers using a chemical reaction called polymerization. The chemicals used are usually sodium hydroxide and carbon disulphide (derivatives of coal, oil, or natural gas). Synthetic yarns are thus man-made fibers that are spun into yarn.
Such Man-made fibres are generally more durable than most natural fibres and offer a range of desirable characteristics which often make them suited to high performance and technical end applications.
Synthetic yarns are used to produce lightweight conveyor & process belting, sail cloth, general fabrics, reinforcement of mechanical rubber goods (diaphragms, hoses, etc.)
Weavers can effortlessly produce a variety of synthetic fibres with Paramount’s-
