According to archeological evidence, silk has been used for at least 5000 years. According to Chinese legend, Empress Hsi Ling Shi, wife of the Yellow Emperor, sat under a mulberry tree and discovered that silkworm cocoons were made of delicate thread. The Empress then learned how to make luxurious fabric by spinning the silk. It became very popular during the Han Dynasty, where silk became a currency that was traded.\u003c\/em\u003e\" Textilepedia, Fashionary International Ltd. 2022, pg 041\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTussar silk is harvested from the cocoons of wild silkworms.
