✯the stapes for production of silk✯

1) heating the cocoons:-

once the silkworm cocoons are harvested,they are exposed to high heat to prevent the mature worms from emerging

2) unraveling the cocoon:-

a silk worker or an automated machine will brush the cocoon to find the loose end and load it through a procelain eyelet onto a reel that unravels silk strand

3) Loading:-

as the silk strand loads onto the reel it is automatically attached to another strand to make a continuous string.

4) Twisting:-

Next silk producers twist these long strings together to make yarn

5) Rolling:-

the silk yarn is put through a roller to make it more uniform

6)dyeing:-

silk textile manufacturers dye their yarn ,and they may bleach it
