The process of making the silk begins with the cocoons of the silkworms, which are then harvested. After the cocoons have been harvested, the silkworms are killed with a high heat.

Next, the silk is brushed and wound on a reel to form yarns or threads. These threads are then dyed or woven into fabric.

There are three grades of silk: Grade A is the highest quality, luminous pearl white and free from impurities; Grade B is closest to the cocoon, with a yellowish-brown appearance and short strands; and Grade C has a rough, lumpy texture that is not as breathable as the other two.

Silk is used for clothing, ties, scarves, bedding, parachutes, and upholstery. Its softness, absorbency, and luster make it a popular choice for these products.
