1.)Hey, Good to find you here Muskan. Now I can here the rest of the story which was left yesterday.
4.)What happens next, Muskan?
3.)So, now, we need to reel out this filament and this is when we get to the cruel part. The cocoon is treated with boiling water.
2.)Yes, Nimrit. Now- steadily over the next 4 days, silkworm will rotate its body in a figure 8 movement 300,000 times constructing a cocoon and producing about a km of silk filament.
Let's discuss out of the library, Nimrit.
At last, now the amount of usable silk in each cocoon, if you ask me, it's really, really small. Because it takes 10 Kgs of cocoon to obtain 1 Kg of silk. Oh! And the silk dress requires about 70 Kgs of mulberry tree leaves. So a load, load of raw material going into that silk dress.
Now, the silk is then unbound from the cocoon, but delicately and carefully unwinding of reeling these filaments from 4 to 8 cocoons at one time. Sometimes with a slight twist to create a single strand.
So this is how it's actually done.
Oh! that was so appreciating story. Thank you so much for this much info.
