Sažetak
Textiles made of sea silk known as sea wool, golden fiber or the fiber of Gods were available only to the emperors, kings and other high class members. Such fabric was obtained from the noble pen shell (lat. Pinna nobilis), the largest shellfish of the Mediterranean which has been listed as an endangered species. The production of sea silk today is almost non-existent, due to the complexity and the secrecy of the thread obtaining process and due to the large protection of the noble pen shell. This paper explores the byssus, thread complex of another bivalve mollusc, Mediterranean mussel (lat. Mytilus galloprovincialis) as an alternative to the traditional sea silk and as a new, renewable, biodegradable and environmentally friendly raw material source which can be used in the fashion and textile industry of the 21st century.
