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..

How do you make something out of silkworm cocoons?

To make something out of silkworm cocoons, start by harvesting the cocoons after the silkworms have completed their life cycle. Boil the cocoons to kill the pupa and loosen the silk threads. Gently unravel the threads, which can then be spun into silk fabric or used for various crafts. The silk can be dyed and woven or stitched into garments, accessories, or decorative items.

What are some similar things between butterflies and moths?

A silkworm is actually a caterpillar, not a worm. There cocoons are made from silk. That is how they make the silk, they actually boil the cocoons with the 'worm' still inside and then through unthreading the cocoons they start the process of making silk that you can use. Unfortunately the caterpillars die as they are 'cooked' alive.
