The OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification is like a super-strict health check for fabrics. It means our silk has been tested for:
Have you ever wondered how the silky-smooth bedding you sleep on every night is made? Let's take an exciting journey through Promeed's silk production process, where ancient traditions meet modern innovation to create the finest silk products you know and love.
In the heart of a region known for silk-making for thousands of years, Promeed continues a legacy that's as rich as the fabric we create. Our story isn't just about making silk – it's about keeping alive an art form that has delighted people across generations. Think of us as the bridge between the past and future of silk production.
We're proud to say that while many companies have completely switched to machine-only production, we still use many of the traditional techniques that have proven their worth over centuries. But don't worry – we're not stuck in the past! We've found clever ways to combine these time-tested methods with modern technology to make silk that's better than ever.
What makes our silk special? It all starts with our commitment to Grade 6A+ Mulberry silk quality standards. If you're wondering what that means, imagine grading your homework – but instead of A+, B, or C, we're looking at things like how smooth and uniform the silk threads are, how strong they are, and how beautifully they shine. Our Grade 6A+ rating means we're at the top of the class!
The magic of silk starts long before any weaving happens – it begins in our mulberry farms. Sericulture, or silk farming, is where science meets nature. Here's what makes our process special:
Our mulberry trees are grown without any harmful chemicals. We believe that the healthier the mulberry leaves, the healthier the silkworms will be, and the better your final silk products will turn out. It's like feeding an athlete – the right diet makes all the difference!
In special rooms that feel like five-star hotels for silkworms, we carefully control everything from temperature to humidity. These tiny Bombyx mori silkworms (that's their fancy scientific name) need perfect conditions to make the best silk. We keep the temperature just right – not too hot, not too cold – kind of like Goldilocks finding the perfect porridge!
First up, we have our tiny tots - the "ant silkworms" stage! These little cuties are just 2mm long, rocking a brown or black fuzzy coat. How adorable! Then comes the big adventure - five growth stages with four costume changes! Here's their schedule:
And then... the grand finale! After all these stages, our little champions become master silk-makers! Would you believe each silkworm can spin an incredible thread that's 1,500-3,000 meters long? That's like a tiny silk factory in action!
Once our silkworms finish their feast of mulberry leaves, they start spinning their cocoons. This is where our expertise really shines. Selecting the perfect cocoons is an art form that our specialists have mastered over years of experience.
What makes a perfect cocoon? We look for several things:
Think of it like picking the perfect apple at the grocery store, but much more detailed. Our experts examine each cocoon carefully, checking for any tiny flaws that might affect the quality of the silk. We only choose the very best cocoons – about 90% of them need to meet our strict standards before we move forward with production.
The cocoons we select are so uniform and compact that if you held one, you'd be amazed at how solid it feels. This uniformity is super important because it means the silk threads inside will be strong and even, leading to that super-smooth feeling you love in your silk pillowcase or sheets.
Every step of our selection process is carefully documented and checked multiple times. Why are we so picky? Because we know that the quality of your silk products starts right here, with these tiny cocoons. It's like building a house – if you don't start with a solid foundation, nothing else matters.
Now comes one of the most delicate parts of silk making – getting the silk thread out of the cocoons. It's like unwrapping a very special present, but you have to be super careful not to damage what's inside!
The first step is something we call "cooking" the cocoons, but it's not the kind of cooking you do at home. We place the cocoons in water that's heated to just the right temperature. Too hot, and the silk could be damaged; too cold, and the threads won't come loose properly. Our master silk makers use special temperature-controlled baths that keep the water at exactly the right warmth.
Have you ever tried to find the end of a roll of tape? Getting silk thread from a cocoon is kind of like that, but much trickier! We use advanced machines that help us find the end of the silk thread and carefully unwind it. What's amazing is that a single cocoon can give us 1,500-3,000 meters of silk thread – that's longer than 10 football fields!
While we're unwinding the threads, our quality control team is constantly checking to make sure everything is perfect. They're looking for things like:
Once we have our beautiful silk threads, it's time to turn them into fabric. This is where things get really exciting! The spinning process is like choreographing a dance – all the threads need to move together in perfect harmony.
Through groundbreaking technological integration, Promeed has successfully modernized traditional silk-weaving methodology.

Adding color to silk is like painting on the world's most delicate canvas. We've developed special eco-friendly dyeing techniques that are gentle on both the silk and our planet.
Did you know that silk can actually absorb color better than most other fabrics? That's why our silk products have such rich, beautiful colors. But getting those perfect colors isn't easy! We use special natural dyes that are:
Our dye masters test each batch of dye to make sure the color will stay bright even after many washes. We do something called "color fastness testing," which is a fancy way of saying we make sure the color won't fade or bleed onto other fabrics. We test this by:
Throughout the dyeing process, we use special techniques to save water and reduce waste. We've even developed a way to reuse some of our dye materials, making our process more sustainable. The water we use is carefully filtered and cleaned before being released back into the environment.
Every shade we create goes through rigorous testing to make sure it meets our high standards. We check each batch under different types of light to ensure the color looks perfect whether you're in bright sunlight or soft indoor lighting. This attention to detail is why our silk products maintain their beautiful colors for years to come.
After dyeing, our silk fabric enters the final stage of its journey – becoming the beautiful products you know and love. Think of this stage as similar to a master chef plating a gourmet meal – every detail matters!
Our cutting and sewing experts work with incredible precision. Before any cutting begins, they carefully measure and mark the fabric, making sure to:
Each piece is cut using special tools designed just for silk. Why? Because silk is so delicate that regular scissors might damage it. Imagine trying to cut through a soap bubble without popping it – that's how careful we need to be!
Every stitch is carefully placed using specialized sewing machines with settings just for silk. Our sewers are true artists who know exactly:
We're really proud of our certificates and quality standards, but what do they actually mean for you? Let's break it down:
