Silk worm farming in India: how your silk is made
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июн 2017
- Ever since human being invented clothes, a variety of fibres have been discovered or invented to suit changes in time climate and fashion. Silk is one out of many fabrics that have been invoked over millennia despite drastic changes in our taste. Since it was discovered fine strong lustrous silk has been wooing the world.
The cultivation of silk and the craft of silk weaving are even more fascinating we thought it would be interesting to get an insight into the story of a silk thread, let's begin with the backbone of sericulture the silkworm. Commercial silk is obtained by cultivating different species of silkworm the most widely and most commercially used species is Bombyx Mori native to Asia. Silkworm are soft bodied and slow-moving and relatively fast growing insects like other insects silkworm to go through four stages of development egg, Larva, pupa and adult. The larva is a caterpillar, the pupa is what the silkworm changes into after spinning its cocoon before emerging as a month.

When i woke up this morning i had no idea that i would be watching a documentary about silk worms.
Me too
Me too me too
Me too
same for me in 2021 XD
Nobody woke up to watch on youtube how silk is made. ...life is full suprises.....
Just so people know, the silk worm is so domesticated that after it hatches from the cocoon, it doesnt have a mouth so it cant feed itself and their wings are incapable of flying. They die about 3 days after mating and laying eggs
Uh, are you sure about that? Because that’s not at all uncommon amongst similar insects without human dependence. (Not feeding, that is)
Domestication is responsible for their fearless nature and sedentary disposition, but in fact a lot of moths and other insects do not eat as adults. (Some species do eat as adults, so it's not a universal rule.) For instance, the insect with the biggest wingspan, the atlas moth, is entirely wild yet has no mouth and lives only from a few days after emerging from the cocoon. They have to do all of their eating as caterpillars; as adults, they exist only to breed. This is also true of many other insects, such as mayflies.
It depends. Some of my silkworms die about one month after mating and laying eggs.
oh
lul they suck
pretty fascinating how insects can be domesticated, i had no idea this was possible
I wouldn't necessarily call it domestication, more along the lines of selective breeding. They managed to cultivate genes that make them unable to fly and thus silk production became much more efficient.
@@ArtisChronicles Considering that they've lost the ability to fly, lost the fear of humans(and predators in general), and need human intervention to even reproduce; it's pretty safe to say that they're domesticated.
Just like the butterfly, if it doesn’t struggle to escape the cocoon, it’s wings aren’t strengthened and it cannot fly.
I wonder who first thought, “let me strip this casing off a worm and make thread.”
in biology we are learning about carbon molecules and my textbook said "One polymer you may have heard of before is silk. Silk fibers, made by spiders and some worms, are very strong and durable. Now, researchers are trying to produce even stronger silk by feeding silkworms carbon-based materials such as carbon nanotubes. Scientists are hoping to use the enhanced silk for medical implants and wearable electronics. With a partner, research carbon-enhanced silk, and discuss the ways this material might influence human society." so i was really curious to see the process behind this and i never knew silk came from cute worms until now lol
technically caterpillars not worms, but still very cute :) You should buy some & have a go yourself, easy to do, lots of fun & hands on cuteness :) & I didn't know about the carbon nanotubes, knew silk was used a lot in medicine, but not about that, so thanks for the info :))
No one asked
You are very hardworking
@@lilaclizard4504 how do u care for them if u buy them?
@ibis also the U.S. military genetically engineered/ crossbred (I can’t remember the exact details now) some silk worms and created like a fiber stronger than Kevlar. I wish I had the source but what you mentioned reminded me of that.
I have raised some silkworms and they have now grown into moths!
Lol
@ssboi12 NO ONE ASKED YOUR MOTHER TO GIVE BIRTH TO YOU
😂😂
wow
Do they fly?
This is just Incredible and I know you've been doing it for centuries but to me its just unbelievable. All this to make clothes. Thank very much for your time and knowledge. Enjoy Life and have a Bless Day. From Bridgeport Connecticut
They’re so precious! Little worms work their hearts out and the get cared for very well! And the moths are the cutest little things in the world!
Are u sure???
yea but they get boiled alive to make silk and if theyve been bread so that their wings cant fly making them easy prey
Water of almost 100 degrees Celsius, imagine putting your hands in that!
I think the water cools down a bit by the time the employees do their thing.
Yes
true. it will be really hot . we can not even put our finger in it as it will burn a lt. imagine the pain of the silkworm when it is fully boiled. selfish humans.
@@YourLocalArtist_X0X cry about it
@@YourLocalArtist_X0X insects don’t feel pain. And silkworms have been farmed for thousands of years in Asia. Not something Westerners would understand for sure. Don’t like it don’t use it. Silk is traditional fiber used to make Kimono in Japan as well as other clothing in other countries in Asia. That’s why we produced them historically. Westerners view other cultures not part of theirs and come and tell us oh poor silkworm. Give me a break. Not your right to tell other cultures how we do things just because it’s not part of your culture.
The video is perfectly explained. Thankyou
Dam so a silkworm’s life is
- Born
- Eat
- Fuck
- Die
Sounds like the life
😂
My agriculture exam in a hour and I’m watching it because it is an important lesson in my book 😊
Indias silk is one of the best but for the insects it's horrible.
Believe me, it's always horrible to something
@@reinshin7298 not always they are horrible sometimes they are nice 🙂
Na mate its not if we dont do that they will die in nature ... they grow and make babes and its all they whant
Peace silk is actually a thing. Its different because you don't boil them you let them live to hatch and then take the cocoons, but its 10 days of that versus the 15 minutes to boil them. So, peace silk is way more expensive.
@@reinshin7298 Coton farming is not horrible for the plants.
I had seen them on trees very often when I was a kid. It was common to find them on chinese dates' trees too.
I always wanted to know how silk cloth was made. Thank u.
Keep Laughing this used to be worth more than gold and everything
Thank u
Next
Me too
@@haroldslawter4185 ❤️❤️❤️
I already know bruh
*This process is new to me. Thanks for sharing and educating*
Thanks. Now I'll never wear any silk.
himanshu singh don’t throw them away! Take care of them! Wash them! Hug them! These silk babies need to be treated! They have feelings you know!
Everly Gacha see, buddy, everyone is not same, everyone have their own perspective to see the world and I am not doing any illegal things that you're speaking like this. What I see I don't like it, boiling them alive I don't like it so everyone can't see things from your eyes. You can have opinion, that's not wrong.
Lagta hai aap bohot samajdar hoi bhai
Artificial silk b ata h wo use kro
same here....ugh....how horrible.
6:50 that model in a white silk gown is my school senior Vijeta Rai Prakash.
I bought a 100g Mulberry silk top for hand spinning and my goodness, the glow on it, and the softness is beautiful! But the smell..is just weird! Wool has a pleasent sort of outdoorsys smell to it from the Lanolin, but silk...ekk. It's a rare treat to me that I only intend on spinning a little in with wool or alone for a small shawl though.
Helped out a lot for my activity. TY
Wow it was a really good experience learning this process with this channel
After watching this video, the love for my silk sarees has doubled!! ❤️❤️
burn your money on it lool
Fuck you!
Litteraly they kill worms..
BUT PPL HAS FOUND A NEW WAY *titanic launching song plays*
Feeling bad for silk worm? Remove your clothes made of silk. 😂
Gerson Callada what’s with the laughter?
No way I'm keeping my silk
@@burgermister7580 then you do not have mercy on other creatures.bad
@@YourLocalArtist_X0X Says Aniketh and than goes to bed to sleep in his silk sheets.
@@deline2507 uh no. by the way all of my bed sheets are of cotton or wool
Thanks mrs. Rice! Happy New Year!
Awesome video! Thanks for posting it
Thais amazing , i was shocked they couldn't fly after though, when i talk about stuff like this at work they laugh, but its interesting dont u think :D
yeah, i would imagine they bread them not to fly since back in the last few thousand years or however long they've been doing it, it would have been hard to prevent the moths from escaping, plus it would make it a lot easier to find the baby worms once out of the egg since the mum wouldn't have gone far to lay the eggs.
Beautiful silk worm video.
Great film thank you!
Wow it is the best channel
Nd itz also yumyum😋
Meanwhile insects in the wild are being ripped apart and many of them don't make it to adulthood. Meanwhile every silkworm lives it up in paradise.
Pp
pP
pp
no they dont .. The need to be killed in order to extract silk .. they only let some of them live to fuck and make eggs
I still prefer insects to live in their natural environment.
Wow thanks for this video now I happy and I also have some knowledge about it❤️
Very awesome.. Knowledge
Scientifically speaking: after the silkworm makes cocoon it's body liquifies then reforms into a moth. So if it's brain and nerves have liquified or are not able to function during that transition then how do they feel pain? The answer is they don't.
They don't but they're still killed. Interesting fact though. Never knew this.
Also in Korea they will eat Beondegi which literally means silkworm pupae. So at the very least in some countries the pupae don't go to waste.
That's a good idea. I wonder how it'd taste.
Horrible, I tried it lol.
Stop trying to justify murder
thanks very much this video helped me understand my science 3 lesson thank u very much❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very informative and interesting
This is so beautiful. Nice work. The video is perfectly explained
Boiling worms alive is beautiful?
It is very useful for a student studying sericulture.
People would love to eat beef, chicken, they easily kills a fly or mosquito, but they're feeling sad for silk worm. Hypocrites
Kerendips does deer attack lion? No? Do you know humans before used to kill tiger, lion, bear for making clothes? We're only using SILK WORM. Furthermore you guys also take life of plants and I'm pretty sure you eat meat but finding a good excuse to defend those bugs
And your point?
From what i can understand, the harmless silk worms shouldve been at least given a chance to live like the others, regardless of its short lifespan, you call people Hypocrites just because they show at least some care to a lowly bug despite the guilt of our grievious actions we have done to other species of animals and even to our own... thats all.....
I am vegan
I am vegetarian, but attack bugs while avoiding silk. I penance with a moderate fast, as mentioned in Mahabharata
Dumbass no Indian eats beef! pure Chutiya.
Wow! Amazing... 😇 😄
Best exaplanation
God's creation marvellous 😊😊
We feed those silk worms and keep them from getting sick and protect them and in return they give us nice clothes its a fair trade really
Samantha Heart-Gaming They boil them and kill them with the pupae inside the cocoon.
Sentido Común there just bugs so really cant feel sorry for them really
Samantha Heart-Gaming well then if you don’t want your silk anymore TAKE CARE OF THEM WASH AND READ BOOKS TO THESE SWEAT BABY SILK! my silkies won’t appreciate people who don’t take care of their bruddas and sistahs
Samantha Heart-Gaming wow you have NO HEART at all
I think that boiling someone alive makes them pretty sick, though.
those who make the dresses rugs and stuff with designs are the real artist. the moths too for having 1 strand that's over half a mile long
Thank you for a great video!

Around Bangalore nowadays they are making silk from the cocoons after the moths have emerged so the worms are not killed in the process, search for `Ahimsa` silk...not sure though how widespread this is. I do have an Ahimsa silk saree.
so instead the moths come out and die :P
Where to buy the ahimsa silk. Link pls
I used to keep silk worms in a box when i was in grade 1. Memories 😂🤦♀️
very educational video thanks
very nice video 😀😀
The process is so beautiful
Boiling a living creature alive is beautiful?
What a sadistic comment.
This was education I love it x
Really interesting video
Thank you for giving valuable information
All of our extended families stopped the use of Silk nearly 35 years ago when we first visited a silk farm in South India. One silk sari causes the death of 60000 silk worms - Please spread the message in your community.
This video is easy for me to understand about silk worms
Watching this for my science exam
how did your exam go?
Terrific video!
Very interesting to see
I was interested in picking it up as a hobby but I don't want to boil them, I knew they'd raise and die but I thought it would be a mayfly type of effect. I'll just buy silk from the professionals.
You actually can use the cocoons after they've hatched out, it just makes a slightly lower quality fiber- and you can also dehydrate them instead of boiling
Assam is known for muga the golden silk
Thanks for choosing Assam....

A beautiful Story
I'm confused....they separate the caccons by hand but they also steam them?
That is sooo cuuuute!!! 🤩 It's like a bugs nursery!!💖
Mélanie Léveillé-Tousignant thé worms die
@@pixie3705 they cannot survive they will die
Think you missed the part where they threw a bunch of cacoons in near boiling water 🤣
They are so cute. Never thought I would say this for a worm.
Nice video 👍 👌
Thanks for explaining
These people are so talented and hard working
Silk comes from the cocoon of silk moths and silk caterpillars or silkworms 🐛🦋
So, some moths are kept alive long enough to lay eggs, while everyone else is boiled alive. Got it.
Sari and traditional Indian clothing is beautiful!
Thanks so much. It would be useful for me in my science project.
it is super
Silk is world's finest cloth
Wow I didn’t know that, thanks
Amazing journey
This silk industry can hugely stop unemployment in india.
It will give a real boost to primary sector and will increase income of farmers and small workers.
Govt should focus on this
5:33
so how do we take out the moth from the cocoon without pierceing or making a hole in the cocoon?
As the thread is unwound, it will drop out
very nice video
Very informative.
It means.... we are killing silkworm just to produce sari.😭😭
but girls still buy it
do you kill to eat?
@@cookinganddesigningwithlit7749 vegans/vegetarians don't.
@@AnonymousAlien2099 still u r killing plant trees so...
@@anuraggautam8976 For groundroots yes, other parts : NO. You dont fuckin uproot an entire tree for its fruits and seeds. In the case of plants, there is least or no violence at all.
Well this is a silk worms life at least they get to mate 💯 under our care haha
Awesome🎂🎂
Thank you so much
It is hard work thanks for show us.❣🌹❣🌺

@@mubashshira idk if i realised the worms were being killed at the time. Strange, cant remember that moment 3 years ago and i mean i am basically a different person now, i wouldv been 16 and now im 19, but i cant imagine ever agreeing with it and i certainly dont agree with it now
