The diagrams below show the life cycle of the silkworm and the stages in the production of silk cloth. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

and the second one illustrates the

process

of making

cloth

. It is clearly seen that the life cycle of the

silkworm

has 4 steps,

while

there are five stages in the producing

silk

cloth

procedure. Production of

silk

cloth

is a simple

process

that requires a range of equipment. The first step in the life

process

of

silkworm

is that a moth lays some eggs. After 10 days, the eggs are turned into

silkworm

larvae which are fed from mulberry leaves. Making

silk

thread by larvae takes almost 4 to 6, and

then

they form

cocoons

which lasts about 3 to 8 days.

Finally

, moths come out from

cocoons

16 days later and the cycle starts over again. The

process

of making

silk

cloth

begins with selecting suitable

cocoons

. At

this

point, selected

cocoons

are boiled in hot water in a pot. Boiled

cocoons

then

undergo unwinding step, changed to thread with 300-meters or 900-meters length. Following the twisting stage, twisted threads can be dyed or weaved and after that weaved threads are subjected to a dyeing procedure.
