how is silk obtained from a cocoon
Cocoons are collected and kept under the sun, or boiled, or exposed to steam. This helps in separating out the silk fibres. The process by which silk thread is separated from the cocoon is called reeling the silk. Then, the spinning of silk fibres into threads is done.
