D) none
Answers
Reelers, twisters
both A& B
Answer:
Reelers and twisters are used as special machines, which unwind the thread or fibres of silk from the cocoon therefore C is the correct answer
Explanation:
The process of separating strands of silk from cocoons is known as reeling the silk. Using specialized machinery, the thread or silk strands are unravelled from the cocoon. Weavers employ silk fibres after they have been spun into silk threads to manufacture silk fabric. Depending on the required silk thread thickness, the filaments from distinct cocoons are collected and reeled together.
Many cocoon baves are reeled together to make a single strand of silk in a process known as silk reeling. To do this, filaments from many cooked cocoons are unwound collectively at one end in a warm water bath, and the resultant thread is wrapped onto a spinning reel.
