Screen Press Printing: Looking at the process
Screen printing also called silk screen print also called serigraph was invented in the Far East around 2000 years ago. No supplemented data on when or where exactly it originates, but originally used to make the screen printer's screen. A paper stencil was stiched onto the screen to control the print area. Around a hundred years ago screen printing was reinvented in the west and it has become a common method of printing on textiles. Most common, the custom t-shirts.
The screens used for screen printing custom t shirts, are made with a mono filament mesh. Photopolymer emulsion is used to make the stencil.

Surround Yourself In Silk Comforters
In times gone by, silk was used for comforters in China- but could only be afforded if you were of the wealthy, noble class.
But those days are gone, and now almost anyone can own a gorgeous silk comforter!
What were silk comforters so coveted in by the Chinese?
Most comforters were filled with cotton fiber, but the longer fiber of silk were combed, aligned and stitched into thin layers of fabric which were then stacked and sealed inside silk shells to form comforters that were warm but allowed moisture to pass through easily.
In fact, silk summer comforters were simply thinner versions with less layers of filling. The comforters were placed inside a washable envelop, much like the duvet of today. Even today, in Chinese culture the comforter of 100% silk is considered a status symbol. It remains much the same even now.
Silk is a natural fiber taken from the cocoons of silk worms.
