Why are some cocoons boiled during harvesting of silk thread?

It must be kept in mind that about 1 per cent of total harvest of cocoons is not boiled. The insects within the cocoon are allowed to mature to form silk moths. These silk moths cut through the cocoons and are allowed to breed for silk worm eggs for future production of silk. The silk from the damaged cocoons is collected and mixed with the filaments of coarse outer portion of the cocoon as well as from the inner portions of cocoons which is left after reeling. This mixture is then spun to obtain low grade silk yarn..by DEEPANKAR MECH

How is silk obtained and manufactured?

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.
