What did the Chinese use before silk?
The Chinese people simply leveraged a natural phenomenon. A silkworm eats leaves and grows, then spins a cocoon. The next step is unwinding the cocoons. The cocoons are heated to kill the pupae, this must be done at the right time, otherwise, the pupae may emerge as moths, and moths will make a hole in the cocoons, which render the cocoons useless for reeling. To unwind the cocoons, first put them in a basin filled with hot water, find the loose end of the cocoon, and then twist them, carry then to a small wheel, thus the cocoons will be unwound. Measure them into a certain length, twist them, they are called raw silk, then they are dyed and woven into cloth.
