Question

Explain the process of obtaining silk from cocoon​

Answer 1

$\huge\mathtt\blue{タղՖWモℜ}$

In order to obtain silk, mulberry trees are cultivated, silkworms are reared and their cocoons are collected to get silk fibres. The various steps involved are:

(i) Rearing of silkworms: A female silk moth lays hundreds of eggs at a time.

Step 2: Thread extraction

Step 3: Dyeing.

Step 4: Spinning.

Step 5: Weaving.

Step 6: binding.

(ii) Processing of cocoons to obtain silk fibres: The pile of cocoons is placed in hot water. Hot water makes the silk fibres of cocoons to separate out. The long fibres are obtained by unwinding the threads from cocoons. This process is called reeling.

(iii) Converting silk fibres into silk cloth: Silk fibres obtained from cocoons are spun (twisted) to form silk threads called silk yarn. The silk yarn is then woven on looms into silk cloth by the weavers.
