There is no standard collective noun for cocoons. Collective nouns are an informal part of language, any noun that suits the context of the situation can function as a collective noun; for example, a cluster of cocoons, an infestation of cocoons, a tray of cocoons (used in silk making), etc.
silkworms are first boiled in water so their cocoons can die. then the silk is obtained by spreading
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.
