Looking At Silk With A Microscope

I was recently given a wonderful gift from a silk supplier in Como after presenting him with a bow from my new collection.

In this image you will see that the polka dot strands are part of the weft whereas in some types of silk the warp will be a satin and the weft will form the polka dots.
