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

The diagrams above tell the full circle story of a silkworm and how it can produce tulle sheets. The top illustrations depict a process the life of a silkworm larva started on a mulberry leaf in which after 4 to 6 weeks may turn into a tulle thread and breed another larva, the newly bred larva will eventually turn into a cocoon after 3 to 8 days,

then

transformed to a moth after 16 days. The moth will lay eggs and hatch for another 10 days.

This

sequence will repeat itself from the beginning. There are some useful goods we can take from

this

being. The benefit of these creatures can be taken out of the leaf and the taffeta yarn. Mulberry leaf can be used as food, and the taffeta strings with

further

processing can be a textile ingredient.

First,

we can select the cocoons before we start the makings. Other things we should prepare are water and dye. To start the production, we boil the tulle thread in the water. After that, we unwind the coil and loosen it until about 300 up to 900 meters long.

However

,

the next step is

to twist it again

hence

it soaks into the dye for some amount of time.

Lastly

, we weaved the sewings so that we turned it into a cotton fabric.

That is

shortly the tale of how we make a gentle fabric out of worms.
