1. INTRODUCTION

Silk is the world's most

elegant textile with
unparalleled grandeur,
natural brightness,
Inherent affinity for
colouring, high absorption,
light weight, soft touch and high
durability, also known all
over the world as the "Queen of
Textiles". The life and culture of the Indians were intermingled with Silk. India has a rich and
complex history of silk manufacturing and its trade in silk dates back to the 15th century. The
sericulture sector provides employment in rural and semi-urban areas of India to approximately 8
million people. Reeling is a method of unwinding the cocoon's silk filament. The method of
reeling is a major task. Based on the appropriate thickness (denier) of silk thread filaments, the
number of cocoons are combined and reeled together.

"The word sericulture is derived from the Greek word "sericos" which means "silk" and means
"rearing" from the English word "community. Sericulture is the art and science of silkworm
rearing, and its end product is silk, for the processing of raw silk. Silk is known as the Queen of
Fabrics and is famous for its natural hue, purity and unusual lustre. It is an animaloriented natural
fiber made from silkworm (Hiware 2012). Sericulture refers to the deliberate mass-scale rearing
of animals producing silk to extract silk from them (Ganga 2006). Sericulture is an important
labor-intensive agro-based industry that provides unemployed/underemployed people with
productive jobs in rural and semi-urban areas and promotes economic growth and improves
people's quality of living. It has also proved to be a highly remunerative cash crop with low
spending and high dividends. Sericulture is unique in raw silk, reeling and then extremely
industrial at the last stage of silk processing for several reasons, such as labor intensive in
mulberry cultivation and cocoon production and cottagebased industry. Sericulture includes
cultivation of mulberries, silkworm rearing, processing of larvae, silk reeling and weaving, and
then selling of silk.
 2. MARKET POTENTIAL

Indian silk products are exported to major traditional markets, such as the USA, Asia Region,
and European countries and small markets. Exporting silk goods earnings over the years have
decreased because of the global recession. The export earnings were Rs.2,829.88 crores in 2014-
15. India, next to China, is the world's second largest producer of silk and has a 12.00 percent
share of global raw silk production. Though India produces about 18,475 MTs of raw silk
annually (2006-07), total annual consumption of silk in the region, per annum is around 26,000
MTs. It is projected that the volume-based CAGR will rise by 7.8 percent from 2016 to 2021.
Global silk market is expected to reach USD 16.94 billion by 2021.

Of all the cloth fibres, silk is the most cherished. It is the continuous filament exuded by the
silkworm through a small opening under the jaws, called the spinneret, at the end of its larval
stage. Silk is said to have played a leading part in the opening of the East-West trade route. Silk
export earnings are rising steadily, particularly from the United States and European countries,
due to the increasing demand for Indian Silk products. During the year 2002-03, export earnings
of Rs.2,294.05 crores rose to Rs.3338.35 crores in 2006-07, reflecting a rise of about 46 percent.
Due to its differentiation and low production rate, the India Silk Products have high export
potential. As a traditional sericultural region, India holds a unique place in the world because, in
addition to the mulberry silk, it has the distinction of cultivating all four commercially
recognised varieties of Vanya Silks viz., Tasar, Oak Tasar, Muga and Eri. The export value of
these Vanya Silks has yet to be commercially explored.

3. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

3.1 PRODUCT USES

Silk thread, paired with a fine diameter, has tremendous elasticity and strength. In
weaving, it can be indefinitely extended and is ideal for silk and wool. Buttonhole twist is
a solid, lustrous silk that is approximately three times the diameter of ordinary sewing
silk and is used for buttonholes, buttonholes and other decorative effects.
 3.2 RAW MATERIAL REQUIREMENT

• The silkworm cocoon is the raw material for silk reeling, as far as the silk industry is concerned.
The protein fiber of silk consists primarily of fibroin and is produced to form cocoons by some
insect larvae.
• Spools- a cylindrical device which has a rim or ridge at each end and an axial hole for a pin or
spindle and on which thread is wound.

For one KG of raw silk approximate 6-8 KG of cocoon is required.

3.3 MANUFACTURING PROCESS

The manufacturing process can be broken down in following steps:

• Raw material procurement

• Checking

• Soaking

• Boiling

• Reeling

• Twisting

• Re-reeling

• Packaging
