The Silk Making Process

The Lifecycle of the Silkworm

Egg: The silkworm begins as a tiny egg, smaller than a pinhead. These eggs are laid by adult moths and require specific temperature and humidity conditions to develop properly over several weeks.

Larva: Once hatched, the silkworm larva emerges as a small caterpillar with an enormous appetite. It spends 4-6 weeks eating mulberry leaves almost constantly, growing rapidly and shedding its skin multiple times as it increases in size.

Spinning: When fully grown, the larva stops eating and begins producing silk from glands in its head. It spins a cocoon around itself by moving its head in a figure-eight pattern, creating a protective silk shell that takes 2-3 days to complete.

Chrysalis: Inside the completed cocoon, the larva transforms into a chrysalis or pupa. This metamorphosis stage lasts about 2-3 weeks, during which the silkworm undergoes dramatic internal changes to become an adult moth.

From Cocoon to Silk

Silkworms spin cocoons from a single continuous filament of raw silk. The cocoons are harvested and heat-treated, then steamed to soften the natural gum binding them together.

A single cocoon yields 300 to 900 meters of raw silk filament. Multiple filaments are twisted into thread, degummed, and dyed before being woven into fabric.

The finished silk is washed, pressed, and inspected to ensure quality and durability in every piece.
