Dear student,


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.

There are four main types of silk depending upon the types of silkworm.
Tasser silk
Mooga silk
Eri silk
Mulberry silk

Important characteristics of silk are:
1.Strength:It is the strongest natural fibre.
2.Elasticity:It is an elastic fibre.
3.Absorbency:Being protein in nature have good absorbency.
