I would like to know something about the process and Who is the creator of these covers?
Are there many cachet makers who use this process or only one?
As you can tell ,I know very little about these covers . Thanks

The American First Day Cover Society is a great place to start.
See their Short Course About First Day Covers.
See Linn's First-day cover producer Colorano sold to Mystic Stamp Co. article of March 2016.
There's more to be googled out there, but you are going to have to learn to spell "Colorano".
Cheers,

Here is a bit of info from Mystic's website;
"Silk First Day Covers produced by Colorano were introduced in 1971 with the America’s Wool issue and finished in 2016 with the Snowflakes issue after Mystic purchased Colorano’s stock in February 2016. Each color illustration is printed on satin-finish fabric, fastened to the cover and surrounded by a luxurious gold embossed border. “Silk” First Day Covers feature regular issue and commemorative stamps. They have no additional information about the stamp subject "

From memory:
Colorano was not the only producer of "silk" cachets. Attached is an image of a Zaso "Silk" Cachet, in fact, this is his First Cachet. There were a few other producers, as well. However, Colorano was always the most popular and successful. I write only from a USA knowledge base. I have no idea about other countries.
Walter G. "Bones" Crosby was a prolific and popular cachet maker. He started in the last 1920's or so and his business was sold around 1950 or so. Well known for the use of inset photographs, thermography and cachet varieties. There is a book written about him and many articles. - He was a retired Chief Gunner's Mate from the U.S. Navy and he worked out of
San Pedro, California, I believe.
