| Silk Factory
Apparently silkworms prefer certain trees on which to build their cocoons. there are farms in China whose sole existence is dependent on raising silkworms so they can harvest the cocoons. What's amazing about the process is that the silkworm creates its cocoon out of a single silk thread that is continuous for approximately 3,600 feet. The cocoons are spun by the silkworm and hand-picked and placed in an oven. The heat of the oven is enough to kill the silkworm inside but not damage the silk of the cocoon.The soaked cocoons., when ready, are then placed into a water tray in preparation for unraveling. A single thread is to thin to be of use and, therefore, multiple threads must be joined and unraveled to form a single thread. The worker locates the ends of eight cocoons. and combines them onto the spinning machine. The spinning machine then automatically unravels the eight cocoons. simultaneously creating a single strand of silk from the eight cocoons.
