Question

The process by which filaments are obtained from the cocoons

Answer 1

For obtaining good quality silk filaments, the cocoons are boiled before the moth can emerge from them. But at times, the moth dissolves the silk to emerge out of the cocoon. These cocoons are called cut and pierced cocoons.

Answer 2

Answer:

The silkworm spins a protective covering, or cocoon, using silk filaments. The unwinding of these filaments is called reeling. The cocoons are first boiled to soften them and are then lightly brushed to find the ends of the filaments so they can be unwound.
