Yogita Ingle 5 years, 3 months ago

Sericulture is a process of rearing silk worms for silk production. Healthy moths are selected to lay eggs as the eggs hatch once in a year. These eggs are washed and stored. Larvae that hatch from the eggs are spread on wooden trays, fed with chopped mulberry leaves and allowed to grow. After 20 – 35 days, twigs are placed on the trays, on which the worms start spinning their cocoons. This may take about 3 – 7 days. Once the cocoons are completely built, they are put in hot water, for reeling, in which the worms are killed and the filaments of silk are drawn from the cocoons.. Filaments from several cocoons are wounded on a reel, which are then dyed and woven into a silk fabric.
