Seasilk is a type of fabric used on Roshar.[1]

Properties and Characteristics

Seasilk is produced from undersea plants that grow along the Rosharan coasts.[2] It seems likely that it is an export of Rall Elorim in Iri.[3] When laundering seasilk it must be put in a warm brine to relax its fibers and then rinsed and brushed with the grain to restore its softness.[4]

Seasilk is used in all manner of lighteyed garments, such as dresses[5] and suits.[6]

Trivia

  • Despite the fact that seasilk is produced from undersea plants, it would look very similar to silk from Earth.[2] As Roshar's insect cocoons typically have stone in them or melt in water, they cannot be used to make material.
