Question

Why are cocoons exposed to steam? Describe the next few steps involved in the productionof the animal fibre?​

Answer 1

Steps involved in silk production are as follows:

The first step is to collect the cocoons and kill the insect inside them. For this, the cocoons are either boiled, steamed or treated in an oven.

The next step is reeling or filature. It is a delicate process of extracting silk fibres from the treated cocoons. In the next step, these fibres are then spun into threads.

These silk threads are then used to weave silk clothes.
