Answer:
Extracting raw silk starts by cultivating the silkworms on mulberry leaves. Once the worms start pupating in their cocoons, these are dissolved in boiling water in order for individual long fibres to be extracted and fed into the spinning reel.

Answer:
A pile of cocoons is used for obtaining silk fibres. The cocoons are kept under the sun or boiled or exposed to steam.
The silk fibres separate out. The process of taking out threads from the cocoon for use as silk is called reeling the silk.
Reeling is done in special machines, which unwind the threads or fibres of silk from the cocoon.
Silk fibres are then spun into silk threads, which are woven into silk cloth by weavers.
