What produces silk yarn?
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.

Additionally, synthetic fibers have the advantage of being more durable and versatile than natural silk.
