Silk yarn is produced from the fibers of silkworms, primarily the larvae of the Bombyx mori moth. These silkworms spin cocoons made of a single continuous strand of silk, which can be harvested and processed into yarn. The silk is extracted by boiling the cocoons to soften the sericin, a protein that holds the fibers together, allowing the long silk threads to be unwound and spun into yarn. This process results in the lustrous, smooth material known as silk.
Yes, sort of. Silk is a thread (which can be made into a yarn) produced by the pupating Silk Moth caterpillar.
Pure silk is all silk, these terminologies used to describe thread, yarn or fabric.
soft silk yarn is strong as comparable thread of steel
Solo yarn is a type of yarn with a worsted weight blend of silk as well as mohair with just a touch of wool.

Flax yarn is different then "wool yarn" and "silk yarn" and requires you to sow them into the dirt in the season it instructs you. When you harvest the seed, you put it in the yarn maker like you would do with silk and wool. Voila! Flax yarn. You can also change its color with a dyer, both of which you buy at Simon's general store beside the clinic.
Yarn structure for cotton is the same as the structure for all yarn. Fibers -- from whatever source, except silk, are aligned so that they all run more or less parallel to each other. The process is called carding: this produces roving.Then the roving is spun into yarn. All fibres are now running more or less parallel to each other and twisted/ twirled together to make the yarn.
silkworm larvae spin the silk yarn around its body. The saliva from its mouth come out and in the air it became the beautiful luster silver yarn harder than steel of its denier

The process is called spinning!
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.
There is no boiled silk or yarn
