    The document describes the process of obtaining silk from silkworm cocoons, known as filature. Cocoons are boiled or exposed to steam to separate out silk fibers. The cocoons are then sorted according to various attributes like color, size, and texture which affect the quality of the final silk. Reeling is the process of separating silk threads from the cocoon. Silk yarn is produced and then woven into silk fabric.

    FILATURE
    OPERATIONS
    THE PROCESS OF OBTAINING SILK FROM THE COCOONS OF SILKWORMS
    IS CALLED FILATURE. THE COCOONS ARE KEPT UNDER THE SUN OR
    BOILED OR EXPOSED TO STEAM TO SEPARATE OUT SILK FIBRES. THE
    COCOONS ARE SORTED ACCORDING TO THE COLOUR , SIZE , SHAPE ,
    TEXTURE AS THESE AFFECT THE FINAL QUALITY OF THE SILK.
    THE SEPARATING OF SILK THREADS FROM THE COCOON OF SILKWORM
    IS CALLED REELING
    SILK YARN/SILK THREAD BY WEAVING THE YARN PRODUCES SILK
    FABRIC.
