Answer:

Explanation:

The process of silk production is known as sericulture. ... 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.

Silk is produced during the cocoon stage of the silkworm's life cycle.

Explanation:

  • A single strand of thin silk thread forms the cocoon. The cocoon must be retrieved and the threads must be taken out in order to obtain the silk.
  • This is accomplished by immersing the cocoons in boiling water or dry baking them, causing the pupa to die rather than emerge from the cocoon. Boiling the cocoon also makes the silk less fragile.
  • This aids in the removal of the silk fibres' threads. Silk reeling is the term for this process.
  • The fibres are pulled into yarns and fashioned into fabrics after they have been reeled.
