A silkworm is a type of caterpillar. It takes a silkworm about three days to spin its cocoon around themselves. They use one long thread to spin the cocoon and if it is disturbed, the silkworm must start over.

they spin it out of a cocoon then theyweave it in to chlothes
they spin it so they can become a butterfly and being a butterfly is their way of browing up in life
Yes , the most common one is mullberry silkworm x
Aside from cheating, spin a lot of silk.
A silkworm produces about a half mile length of silk at a time. It usually takes about a month for them to produce that much silk. Silkworms live up to two months, so in their whole lifetime, they spin about one mile of silk.
Caterpillars and silkworms are eating machines. Once hatched, they will eat and eat until it becomes time to spin their cocoons or pupate to reach the final stage and emerge as an adult. In commercial silk production, once the silkworm is cocooned, it is dropped into boiling water to kill it. The cocoon is then unravelled to produce a silk thread Several threads are combined to produce the silk yarn strong enough to produce a fabric.
Stages of productionThe stages of production are as follows:The silk moth lays thousands of eggs.The silk moth eggs hatch, and the larvae feed on the mulberry leaves.When the silkworms are about 10,000 times heavier than when they hatched, they are now ready to spin a cocoon.The silk is produced in two glands in the silkworm's head and then forced out in liquid form through the spinnerets.The silk solidifies when it comes in contact with the air.The silkworm spins approximately 1 mile of filament and completely encloses itself in a cocoon in about two or three days but due to quality restrictions, the amount of usable silk in each cocoon is small. As a result, 5500 silkworms are required to produce 1 kg of silk.The silk is obtained from the undamaged cocoons by brushing the cocoon to find the outside end of the filament.The silk filaments are then wound on a reel. One cocoon contains approximately 1,000 yards of silk filament. The silk at this stage is known as raw silk. One thread consists of up to 48 individual silk filaments.
