Silk is definitely the most luxurious, and also very strong.
It takes dyes very well, which is why silk clothing is often in brilliant colors. It can be combined with wool, cotton and other fibers. I asked my sister Kathleen, who is a textile artist and historian, about the qualities of silk for a specific reason. As a teacher and writer, Jo Keroes has always seemed admirable to me. To write this piece on her teaching and writing, I knew I needed to search for a weaver's metaphor, as Jo somehow manages to weave all of her many roles into a colorful and playful design, a silken tapestry that both edifies and challenges.
