Silk thread can be gathered from the webs of a cave spider and woven into cloth at the loom. Webs are automatically collected by default by any worker who has the weaving skill activated and access to a loom, which automatically produces the work task "collect webs."
If your fortress doesn't have cave spiders, then it is easy to buy silk thread and cloth from the dwarven caravan.
Silk cloth has exactly the same value as plant fiber cloth (34☼).
Giant cave spider silk is very expensive (see Item value), because it comes from such a high-value creature. It's rare because it only occurs in biomes where a lair can exist (mountains/volcanos). Getting your hands on it requires you to be either very careful or have a little talk with the owner.
Phantom spider silk has the same value as normal silk, although it is rarer than normal silk. It usually occurs in terrifying heavily wooded areas of some kind, and in small patches.
Silk of all kinds will not burn. It is unclear if this is a feature or a bug.
