What does the silk farmer do with cocoons not needed for breeding purpse?

Answer 1

they kill the silkworm that is inside to get the cocoon into fiber (thread)

Answer 2

Silk farmers typically boil the cocoons to kill the pupae inside and soften the sericin, a protein that holds the silk fibers together. The softened sericin allows the farmer to unravel the silk fibers from the cocoon in a process known as reeling. These silk fibers are then spun into thread or yarn and used to create various silk products such as clothing, accessories, and textiles.

Answer 3

Well, isn't that a happy little question! When a silk farmer has cocoons that are not needed for breeding, they can use them to extract the silk fibers. These fibers are then spun into thread and woven into beautiful silk fabric, creating something truly special and unique. It's all about finding beauty and purpose in every little thing we do, just like painting happy little trees on canvas.
