Question

Observe the image below and identify the process. (i) Yarns of silk are being converted into silk fabric through weaving. (ii) Silk fibre is obtained from silkworms. (iii) Silk fibre is converted into silk yarns through spinning. (iv) Yarns of silk are being converted into silk fabric by knitting.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. The process of making yarn from fibers is called spinning. Weaving is the process used to convert yarn into fabric.
2. Silk fiber is a protein fiber from silk glands of an insect. Cultivation of silkworm is known as sericulture. A female silk moth produces about 300–400 eggs at once.
3. 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.
