Silk is a highly resourceful item in Ark: Survival Ascended. It can be used to craft other items, including tents, Whips, and Desert Cloth Armor. You can acquire silk by killing Lymantria and using a Sabertooth or Metal Hatchet. You can also harvest silk from purple and white flowers and find it in reeds.
Silk is mostly found near the water, usually in ravines. But in Ark Crystal Isles expansion, we find a ton of silk in the desert. Famous locations to find Silk are Griffin Trench, Oasis, Desert, and mountains.

Silk Spawn Command
If you’re having trouble finding Metal in Ark: Survival Ascended, you can use spawn commands to have this item spawn in your inventory. To do this, you must open the cheat console by pressing the TAB key on your keyboard.
If you’re playing on PlayStation, you’ll need to hold down L1, R1, Square, and Triangle at once, and similarly, on Xbox, hold down, LB, RB, X, and Y at once. Once the console opens, simply type in: “cheat gfi Silk 1 0 0” and hit enter to add this resource directly to your inventory.
If you come across a situation where the command does not work, try resetting your system or game or try using this spawn command instead: “cheat giveitem “Blueprint’/Game/ScorchedEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_Silk.PrimalItemResource_Silk'” 1 0 0”
