Production of silk cloth

Production of silk cloth

The diagrams illustrate the process of life cycle of the silkworm and producing of silk cloth.
There are four basic stages in the first picture beginning with lying eggs and ending with appearing of moth. The next process of silk cloth consists of five main stages starting from silkworm cocoon to ready-made silk fabric.
At the first stage of this process, the cycle starts the moth lying its own eggs. After about 240 hours later, silkworm larvae break the egg in order to come out. After that, the larvae feed on mulberry leaf, and after around more than one month these larvae try to cover itself with silk thread. Then, around three to eight days are enough for cocoon to be generated.
At the next phase of the production of silk cloth, the ready-made cocoon is selected first, after it is put into pot in an effort to boil in hot water. Following that, the cocoon is unwound, and then a thin piece of thread is twisted. Finally, a thin string of thread woven into natural silk material and dyed in a coloring pot.
