  • No commentary here, its just me cutting open a silkworm cocoon to show how tough it is (I have to use alot more force then I expected) and to see what it looks like inside (it contains the remains of the silkworm).
    This silk cocoon can be bought from the normal school suppliers here in the UK.

    Did anyone take science in school? The worm is not dead. It is changing into a moth. It is called a chrysalis. They live about 3 to 10 days after emerging from the cocoon. The cocoons are used cut open like this as a beauty treatment. They can also be used when cut open for hand spinning silk. The worms are boiled alive for the commercial processing of silk since cutting the cocoon results in damaging the single strand of silk that makes the cocoon.

      I wonder what other ways that you can use today, to keep them alive before boiling or drying them?To let them become to that beatiful creature and then still be able to profit or put use that precious material. It was interesting when I learned that silk is also used heavily on aircraft manufacturing today for being much tougher but much cheaper material comprared to steel. or the cut open for skin and facial care..

      Killing the worm is actually convenient for the grower as he will leave only a portion of the worms destined to complete the transformation into moths in order to reproduce (the minority) so that the population is never increasing.

      @@halukbahadr4102 I love your thinking. Eri silk is done just like that. The worms are allowed to complete the process of changing and then the cocoon is used. It’s not the high dollar silk that can be reeled as one strand, but it is very humane and the worms are not harmed. That is the only kind I use.

      suhasgowda gowda no it’s more like a glue that’s why it gets boiled to not only kill the silkworm but loosen the threads.
      Once the fine threads are loosened they are all pulled through the same metal tube where the sticky stuff clings them together to form a bigger stronger thread!

      The cocoon is like a silk housing for the pupa inside, if you're careful when the opening the cocoon you might be able to keep the pupa safe, they don't need the cocoon to hatch. I think the cocoon's only purpose is to keep em' away from sunlight or predators. So it should be fine

      To make silk, you have to kill the silkworm inside by boiling the cocoon for five minutes in order to get all the sticky silk stuff out, cuz thats not good to make silk. I bet this guy was trying to get silk thread. You can't just make silk by letting the moth out of the cocoon, because in order for the moth to get out of the cocoon, they have to spit out this chemical that makes a hole in the cocoon. That would make very tiny pieces of thread, not sufficient to sew or embroider with.
