Ironman verdict
5 monsters drop it, and the best one is also the easiest: Skeleton looter (level 42), at 4/128 (about one every 3 kills). Other sources include Christmas cracker, Silk stall and Silk stall (Menaphos). 3 recipes use Silk, including Cleaning cloth, Clockwork suit and Mourner trousers. Silk is available on free-to-play worlds too. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 33 coins, 30 more than the shop price, before the cost of the nature rune.
