Lifestyle

Silkworm Life Cycle (Cocoon-to-Silk Process)

  • Baby silkworms: The “white worms” shown on the floor are silkworm larvae.
  • Feeding/raising: The caregiver collects more food to keep the silkworms growing.
  • Silk cocoon stage: The silkworms form silk cocoons.
  • Boiling to stop development: The cocoons are boiled to kill the silkworm pupa.
  • Washing: After boiling, the cocoons are washed.
  • Removing remains: The cocoons are taken out from the dead silkworms.
  • Stretching/spinning prep: The gathered cocoons are stretched to process them into usable raw silk fibers.
  • Drying: The gathered cocoons / raw silk is left out to dry.

Scale of Effort (Resource Intensity)

It takes about 2,500 silkworms to produce 1 pound (0.45 kg) of raw silk, highlighting how repetitive and labor-intensive the process is.
