No, the tapestry insets were mainly made of wool (wool tapestry weft over the textile's linen or woollen warp). The details were made with some sort of embroidery, the so-called flying-shuttle technique.<br>
There are examples of insets made with gold threads and, therefore, silk wouldn't be too strange. Anyway, out of reach of common soldiers and low rankers with most probability!<br>
