True, according to Chinese tradition the early production of silk dates back to approximately 2700 BC. However, it is believed that there are fragments of looms and other silk products that date back even further to potentially 3 or 4000 BC. Through the Chinese development of silk production came the famous "Silk Road" or the massive trade route that stretched from Asia into Europe where many goods were traded including of course, silk.
