Chinikan Silk

MINOR INFORMATION
Chinikan Silk is a highly sought after and valuable material from Chinika. The Silk was produced from the Chinikan Silkworm. The Chinikans would first extract raw silk starts by cultivating the silkworms on mulberry leaves. Once the worms start pupating in their cocoons, the Chinikans would dissolve the remaining product in boiling water in order for individual long fibers to be extracted and fed into the spinning reel. Once done the silk is taken and mended together over a nearly seven hour long process called Churicawa. Once the silk has been woven together it is usually dyed in elaborate colors and sold in the general markets to the merchants and nobles of Chinika. The merchants typically sold and exported the silk to foreigners, reaping bountiful profits in return.
