Silk is a filament of animal origin produced by the Bombyx mori silkworm. This fiber is characterized by its unique softness and gloss, which is attributed to the triangular shape of its cross section. It also has a high tensile strength and a high toughness, similar to some synthetic fibers. In this paper an literature review of the processes required for a homogeneous dyeing in silk was performed, starting from the dyeing pretreatments up to the color fastness characterization tests.
