German term

Zuchtseide

German to English Tech/Engineering Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
Hi,

The German text deals with textile manufacturing. The term in question appears in a classification of fibers.

Example:

Naturfasern:
Pflanzenfasern:
Samenfasern, Bastfasern, Hartfasern, Fruchtfasern

Tierische Fasern:
Wolle und feine Tierhaare
Grobe Tierhaare
Seide: Maulbeerseide (Zuchtseide), Tussahseide (Wildseide)

Thank you very much.

cultivated silk

From my trusty "Modern Textile Dictionary":

"Mulberry Silk: The product from those worms which have fed upon the leaves of cultivated mullberry trees, to distinguish the silk from wild or Tussah silk which has been raised on the leaves of the oak, cherry tree, castor oil plant and various bushes."

natural silk, raw silk

Freilich ist Zuchtseide eine "gezüchtete Seide", auf natürlichem Wege "gesponnen". IMO gibt es keinen Unterschied zwischen Zuchtseide und "natürlicher" Seide.

mulberry silk

not really sure but look at these sites and others, and farmed silk does get hits almost exclusively in expressions like "farmed silk caterpillars" etc.

cultured silk

This expression seems to be used more frequently than "farmed silk" if google is to be trusted.
For example: http://chivalrysilk.com/cocoon_to_loom.html
Peer comment(s):

agree Nicole Snoek (X) : or cultivated silk; the mulberry silk worms (or Bombyx mori) are the only species that can be artificially cultivated (hence all other silk is wild)

sericulture

Any of these suggestions would be acceptable in isolation:

Seide: Maulbeerseide (Zuchtseide), Tussahseide (Wildseide)
Silk: Mulberry silk (sericulture), (wildcrafted) Tussah silk

The cocoons of the latter silk moth are collected in the wild and not farmed...
Peer comment(s):

neutral Nicole Snoek (X) : this is the overall term for the rearing of silkworms
