A slow-release silk thread and a method for preparing the slow-release silk thread are provided. The slow-release silk thread includes a substrate layer, a slow-release layer, and a protective layer. The slow-release layer is provided between the substrate layer and the protective layer. The slow-release layer includes porous microspheric particles in which a functional agent is adsorbed. The slow-release silk thread obtains a composite structure through the method and realizes slow release of the functional agent by taking advantage of an adsorption performance of a special granular powder, thereby prolonging effective duration of the functional agent.
