The ancient Chinese made silk from silkworm's cocoons. They put the cocoons in warm water and they unravel it. Then the unraveled cocoon is used as thread to make the silk. The first step is reeling, then throwing, then boiling and weighting, then dyeing (that is optional) and then finally weaving it all together.
