A single continuous thread of raw silk from 300 to 900 meters (1000 to 3000 feet) can be drawn from a cocoon. The fibers are very fine and lustrous, about 10 micrometers (1/2500th of an inch) in diameter.

How you get silk from butterfly?

Silkworms, which emerge from their cocoons as moths, spin cocoons that are the raw material for the fibre humans use as silk. Cocoons are harvested from domesticated silkworms by heating the cocoon to kill the animal, then the silk cocoon is unraveled. Once the moth has emerged -- in wild silkworms for example, the cocoon's silk can be harvested, but not in one continuous length. As a moth, there is no connection with the now-discarded cocoon.
