The silkworm makes a coccoon. When the worm does this, you drop the coccoon into warm water and let it soak. After a while, the "glue" that the silkworm uses to make the cocoon dissolves and the fibres come apart in the water. Carefully find the end of the cocoon and start to unravel it. It should come apart easily and the silk will dry to a usable product.
