絹

Also known as silk fiber

カイコの繭からとった天然繊維

AI overview

Silk is a natural protein fiber produced mainly by insect larvae, most commonly the mulberry silkworm, that can be woven into textiles valued for their characteristic shimmery appearance. The fiber's lustrous quality comes from its triangular prism-like structure, and silk is composed primarily of a protein called fibroin with a smaller coating of sericin.

絹（きぬ）は、カイコの繭からとった動物繊維である。カイコが体内で作り出すたんぱく質・フィブロインを主成分とするが、1個の繭から約800 - 1,200mとれるため、天然繊維の中では唯一の長繊維（フィラメント糸）である。独特の光沢と滑らかな質感を持ち、古来より衣類の材料（絹織物）などとして珍重されてきた。カイコの繭を製糸し、引き出した極細の繭糸を数本揃えて繰糸の状態にしたままの絹糸を生糸（きいと）というが、これに対して生糸をアルカリ性の薬品（石鹸・灰汁・曹達（ソーダ）など）で精練してセリシンという膠質成分を取り除き、光沢や柔軟さを富ませた絹糸を練糸（ねりいと）と呼ぶ。ただし、100％セリシンを取り除いたものは数％セリシンを残したものに比べ、光沢は著しく劣る。生糸は化学染料、練糸はいわゆる草木染めに向くが、歴史的に前者の手法が用いられ始めたのは19世紀（明治維新）以降であり、昔の文献や製品にあたる際、現在の絹織物とは別物に近い外観と性質をもつ。また、養殖（養蚕）して作る家蚕絹と野生の繭を使う野蚕絹に分けられる。
