The diagrams demonstrate to us the life stage of the silkworm from egg to moth and the process of silk cloth production from select to weave.
Overall, the silkworm life cycle includes five main stages which are eggs, silkworm larva, silk thread, cocoon and moth. After this cycle, the production of silk cloth has five fundamental steps as select, boll, unwind, twist and weave.
In terms of the silkworm, the life cycle starts with eggs which are left by mature silkworms. After ten days when eggs feed with mulberry leaf, silkworm larva happens. The third stage actualizes almost four-six weeks later silk thread is created by larva and following three or eight days cocoon appears. At the final stage which is after sixteen days then the cocoon transforms to a moth.
When looking at the production of silk cloth, the first step is collecting the right cocoon and then the cocoon is boiled in water. The result of this cocoon unwinds as the thread between 300-900 meters. Threads twits and weave stage comes true. In the last point, cloth which is weaved, dyes and be ready to use.
