How does raw silk become yarn?

Raw silk is harvested from cocoons of silk worms. The cocoons are lowered into hot water, which terminates the worm's use of the cocoon.

Then the cocoon is carefully unwound to produce strands of raw silk. Additional processing may take place, depending on the type of raw silk being produced.

The worm is disposed of.

What produces silk yarn?

Silk yarn is produced from the fibers of silkworms, primarily the larvae of the Bombyx mori moth. These silkworms spin cocoons made of a single continuous strand of silk, which can be harvested and processed into yarn. The silk is extracted by boiling the cocoons to soften the sericin, a protein that holds the fibers together, allowing the long silk threads to be unwound and spun into yarn. This process results in the lustrous, smooth material known as silk.
