We obtain silk by killing the larvae inside by a process called stiffling by putting a lot of these in a steam even for 10 to 15 minutes. Obtaining silk fibre from cocoon is called reeling. It is done with special machines called reelers and twisters. The silk fibre is carefully collected from the cocoon and nearly 3 to 8 of such threads are wounded together to make yarn from it which is reeled. This yarn is cleaned, bleached and colored. This yarn is ready.

When silk obtained from silk moth?

Silk is obtained from the cocoon of the silkworm, which is the larval stage of the silk moth (Bombyx mori). After the larvae spin their cocoons, they undergo metamorphosis into moths. To harvest silk, the cocoons are typically boiled or steamed to kill the pupa and loosen the silk fibers, which are then carefully unwound and processed into silk thread. This process has been practiced for thousands of years, primarily in countries like China and India.
