Tamil wings: Processing silk yarn from raw silk is a meticulous process that transforms silk cocoons into a fine, lustrous yarn suitable for weaving and knitting. Here’s an outline of the main steps involved in the process:

Cocoon Selection: Select cocoons with the highest quality for optimal yarn. Silkworm cocoons are typically harvested about a week after they are spun.
Sorting: Sort cocoons by quality, size, and color to ensure uniformity in the final yarn.

Stifling is the process of killing the pupae inside the cocoon by exposing them to high temperatures. This prevents the moth from emerging and breaking the filament.
This can be done by steaming or hot air. The goal is to retain the integrity of the cocoon structure for reeling.

Soak the cocoons in hot water to soften the sericin, the gummy substance that binds the silk fibers. Boiling helps to unwind the silk more smoothly.

The reeling process involves unwinding the silk filaments from the cocoon.
Workers or machinery find the filament end and reel it onto spools. Multiple filaments are often combined to create a single, stronger strand.
This raw silk filament, called reeled silk, is the basis for silk yarn.

The process of throwing involves twisting multiple silk filaments together to create threads and yarn of desired thickness and strength.
Depending on the end use, different twists (tight or loose) are applied.

Degumming removes any remaining sericin, enhancing the silk’s softness and sheen.
Silk is soaked in warm, soapy water, then rinsed and dried. This step brings out silk's characteristic smoothness and shine.

Silk yarn can be dyed in a variety of colors. Because silk absorbs dye well, it is often dyed after degumming.
Silk dyeing requires specialized dyes and gentle handling to maintain the silk's integrity and luster.

The yarn is wound onto bobbins or hanks, ready for weaving, knitting, or other textile processes.

Each of these steps requires precision, as silk is a delicate material.
