You might be puzzled how your favorite gown or workwear uniforms may have been made. You might be wondering how textiles are being produced. And you might be thinking hard how silk has been produced.
We all know that silk is commonly associated with caterpillars and similar worms. In China and some other parts of the world, these worms are being farmed or cultured, whatever term that best suit the practice, in order to get their most treasured property - the silk fiber. Silk fiber are not inert of the worm like that of a spider but can be primarily extracted from the cocoons that serves as their shelter while the worms ovulates and becomes adult.
After a caterpillar matures and become adult, the left cocoon is processed and the silk proteins are being extracted to become a fine fabric. With the help of modern mechanisms, silk fiber can be dyed. These fibers will now be rolled into yarns and will finally be made into fabric - the last material necessary for making clothes.
