, the process of making silk comprises 4 basic steps, beginning with selecting cocoons and ending with the resulting products. As can be seen, eggs are laid on the leaves of the plant.

Over the next 2 weeks, an adult moth gets out of the cocoon and the cycle keeps going all over again. Regarding the production of the fibre, once the cocoons are chosen, they are boiled in water at a high temperature.
