Nightsilk

Nightsilk is the silk produced from the webs of the Silken Crowned Spider of Ashenvale, a large trapdoor spider that produces elaborate webbed traps in the entrance to its lair. The silk is collected by the Kaldorei - formerly by their slaves during the Highborne Empire due to the danger involved - and boiled in wine to liberate the individual filaments, which are then spun into threads and weaved into a soft, semi-sheer fabric that displays a wide range of colours when held under light and is stronger than steel for an equivalent weight. Gowns made of nightsilk are a common sight among the rich of Kaldorei society and among temple priestesses of the Elunite Faith, and in some circumstances, it is the favoured material for burial shrouds.
