Answer:
Larvae are fed mulberry leaves.
After they have moulted several times, they spin a cocoon. The silk solidifies upon contact with air. This process takes about 2 to3 days.
Once the cocoon is formed, it is dropped into a pot of boiling water effectively killing the pupae.
The silk filament is extracted by brushing the cocoon.
The raw silk is woven or knit into a fabric or spun into a yarn
