    Actually, only some types of Thai silk are iridescent. You can specify whether you want none, some, or a lot of iridescence in your silk if it's made to order.

Thai Silk has triangular fibers which reflect light like prisms. It also has layers of protein that gives it a natural sheen and makes it lustrous and smooth. Silk is an insect fiber and superior to any animal or plant fiber. Thai silk fiber is strong but lightweight, elastic but supple.
