Silk containing sericin is called raw silk. The gummy substance, affording protection during processing, is usually retained until the yarn or fabric stage and is removed by boiling the silk in soap and water, leaving it soft and lustrous, with weight reduced by as much as 30 percent. Spun silk is made from short lengths obtained from damaged cocoons or broken off during processing, twisted together to make yarn. The thickness of silk filament yarn is expressed in terms of denier, the number of grams of weight per 9000 (9846 Yarns) meter of length. Silk is sometimes in process called weighting treated with a finishing substance, such as metallic salts, to increase weight, add density, and improve draping quality. Raw silk is a nubby fabric. It has a rough texture with small bolts along the fabric. It lacks the slipperiness that most people would associate with silk and also feels lighter.
