The
given
pictorial
show
the life cycle of the silkworm and
also
shows
the
processes
of
silk
cloth productions.
The life cycle of a silkworm
begins
from the eggs laid by the mother worm and from these eggs the silkworm larvae
are generated
after 10 days.
The
silkworm larva
usually
eats
leaves
like mulberry
leaves
and completes the second
stage
of the life cycle in 4-6 weeks. In their third
stage, they create
silk
thread shells and remain there for another 3 to 8 days and then create an oval cocoon. The cocoon
stage
lasts for around 16
days and
they become moth in the final
stage. With time the moths become grown-up and recycle the
processes
again.
The second picture
describes
the
processes
of the
silk
cloth production which have more than 5
stages. In the initial
stage, the
silk
thread shells of the silkworm
are selected
and then boiled in the
next
stage. After boiling in water the threads are
unwinded and
they are
usually
300 to 900
meter
long. Then these
are twisted
and dyed and
finally, those are
weaved
to
silks. The twisting, dying, weaving and then dying again the
process
is done
more than once as per necessary to produce fine quality
silks.
