Pure Gold is an element, Au.\n\nHowever, the gold you get from shops are not pure gold, but are alloys with other compound, since pure gold is soft at room temperature.

Directly connected. The original fabric was made in the Kashmiri region and was adopted around the world by fashionistas. Look in the dictionary and it should tell you.

Polycarbon is lighter, easier to form in curves, and usually cleaper.\n\nGlass is more durable (difficult to scratch) and can be tempered so that it's won't form dangerous shards if broken.

Sateen and Percale are types of fiber finish and weave.  Unfinished 100% cotton wrinkles.  You can buy 100% cotton that has been treated to resist wrinkles, or cotton with a little bit of polyester. Look for the terms "Easy Care" or 'Wrinke-Free".  (Not too much polyester, or the sheet surface will 'pill' and feel sandy).\nMy favorite source for good sheets is Lands End.

they explain where it comes from, but not how it's made. Sure it's from silkworms and mulberry trees, but the way the chinese found out about silk is they dropped a cocoon into a bowl of very, very hot water (that was previously boiling) and the cocoon turned into a soft, pliable thread that could be unraveled, refined, spooled and made into garments for upperclass people. For years the chinese guarded the secret with their lives! They would do anything to protect the secret.

WOW!!  What a question! This is some form of raw material but not understanding what your question is. Email me so I have a better idea on what your asking,,,

I'm not sure ... it depends on what you mean by 'a single piece of silk'! The Kimono is often silk, but it's not a single piece - it's stitched together from pieces of fabric cut to a pattern - or am I taking you too literally???!\n\nAnyway, it's probably not a Yukata, because they are usually made of cotton - they're for the summer. Silk is too hot really.\n\nAnd yes, the 'sash' on a Kimono is called an Obi.

They are not as sheer as real Nylons, about 20 denier is the best you will get, nylons are usually 10 or 15 denier.  I guess silkworms can't make yarn as thin as machines. \n\n If you have nylon allergies they will look OK,probably  better than hold ups or most pantyhose, although they may be cost prohibitive.

Here is some additional information and links.\n\nWeaving is an ancient textile art and craft that involves placing two threads or yarn made of fibre onto a warp and weft of a loom and turning them into cloth. This cloth can be plain (in one color or a simple pattern), or it can be woven in decorative or artistic designs, including tapestries.\n\nThere are many kinds of weaves, starting with a basic single layer plain weave and evolving into infinitely complex weave structures. Many traditional weave patterns are well known to weavers by their traditional names such as overshot and twill.

Well........yes thread of different types,depending on what material you are using and the color makes a difference too depending on your material. You will need needles according to your material too. A pair of scissors or two, a seam ripper (in case you make a mistake).maybe a zipper,depending on what you are making and some straight pins. Oh ya...and a well lit and quiet room helps! Good Luck!

Elements is the correct spelling.\n\nIt all depends what the carpet is made from.\nIs it natural or man-made fibers? \nThis question would need to be answered first.

grade five is the highest grade (more perfect in roundness and quality).  ceramic is harder than steel and roll smoother and wear slower.  it costs more, but worth the price, unless you pack your hubs frequently.

I'm not sure I understand your question, but woven fabric is still the most common type.  Knits are a close second, and felted or matted fabrics a distant third.

Twill is stronger in that regard.  The reason is one that frustrates sewers when they want to tear fabric to straighten it: twill does not tear straight across the grain lines, the way an ordinary weave does.  It will tear along the cross-grain (the grain that runs parallel to the selvage instead of the usual selvage to selvage grain) relatively easily, but when you try to go selvage to selvage, the way you do for, say, quilter's cotton, you are going against the double threads that form the diagonal lines on twill.  I wish I could draw a diagram.
