Rearing silkworms: The female silk moth lays hundreds of eggs at a time. The eggs are carefully stored on the strips of a cloth or paper and sold to silkworm farmers. The eggs are kept under suitable conditions of temperature and humidity. The eggs are warmed to a suitable temperature for the larvae to hatch from eggs. The larvae are kept in clean bamboo trays along with freshly chopped mulberry leaves. After 25 to 30 days the caterpillars stop eating and move to tiny chambers of bamboo in the tray to spin cocoons which develop the silk moth.
Processing silk:
A pile of cocoons are kept under the sun or boiled or exposed to steam which separates out the silk fibres.
The process of taking out threads from the cocoon for use as silk is called reeling the silk.
