Is silk from the silkworms cocoon used to make anything?
Yes it is! Silk from silkworm cocoons is extracted to be used for manufacturing of many types of clothing; meaning, that the silky clothings you are wearing are actually made of many threads of silk that were extracted from many silkworm cocoons. In fact, only one silkworm cocoon contains a single continuous silk thread that can reach about 3600 feet in length! This method of manufacturing originated in China, where the first silk keel was invented and there are different farming methods in different countries. The process of extraction in Chinese farms involves heating the cocoons in an oven in order to kill the silkworm inside the cocoon, and then soaking the cocoons in water in order to identify the end of the silk thread. Once theyre soaked, the silk is extracted from the cocoons using multiple threads from several cocoons to form a single silk thread (since one thread of silk from one cocoon is too thin). Hope that helps:)
