Silkworms will spin silk and form cocoons after not eating mulberry leaves, and the cocoons produced at this time are our raw materials. We should gently tear off the cocoon coat on the cocoon by hand, so as to avoid the interference of the cocoon coat on the cocoon in the future.

2. Burn the silkworm chrysalis.

Prepare boiled water and throw all the cocoons into it. This process will burn the silkworm chrysalis inside to death. At the same time, it is also beneficial to our silk drawing work.

Step 3 stir.

Take a small broom and stir it hard in the pot in a certain direction. The more times you stir, the greater the chance that the silk inside the cocoon will separate. When stirred to a certain extent, we will find that the heads of silk are slowly falling out. This is the beginning of our most important spinning.

4. Spinning.

We will find the head of the silk thread and wrap it around the winding board. Then the silk can be wound. When drawing silk thread, we must move lightly to avoid excessive force and break the silk thread.

5. make textiles.

The silk thread we have drawn can be directly used for silk weaving. In general, the silk thread on a cocoon is very long, about 900 to 1500 meters away. How's it going? Isn't that incredible? In this way, the working people in ancient China made high-grade silk with good quality and low price, and made it serve the people all over the world.
