Why Mulberry Silk is the Queen of Fabrics

Updated October 2026. When you touch a Wenzi scarf, you feel 100% mulberry silk — the fiber we print our paper paintings onto. It is not satin, and it is not polyester. Twill holds a knot, which is why the same square works as a trench scarf and a belt.

What is Mulberry Silk?

Mulberry silk is the highest quality silk available for purchase. It is produced by silkworms that are fed exclusively on mulberry leaves. The resulting thread is rounder, finer, smoother, and stronger than wild silk.

Benefit 1: Hypoallergenic and Gentle

Silk is a protein fiber, similar to human skin. It contains natural amino acids and is naturally hypoallergenic.

Benefit 2: Moisture Retaining

Unlike cotton, which absorbs moisture from your skin, silk helps your skin retain its natural hydration.

Benefit 3: Temperature Regulating

Silk is a natural insulator. It keeps you warm in the winter by trapping a layer of air next to your skin, but its breathability keeps you cool in the summer.

Benefit 4: Strength and Durability

Despite its delicate appearance, a silk fiber is stronger than a steel fiber of the same diameter. With proper care, your Wenzi silk scarf can last for decades.
