Thousand Silkworm Cocoons Makes One Silk Shirt.


** **

The silk produced by silkworms has to be spun to be woven. When we first entered the silk workshops to watch this process the clatter of machinery was in sharp contrast to the quiet lobby. Perhaps some of the silk cocoons should have been handed out for use as earplugs ! There were baskets of silk cocoons stacked on tables ready for processing and we were told that about a thousand perfect silkworm cocoons were needed to make one silk shirt. Any silkworm cocoon showing signs of holes or stains was rejected.

Spinning Silk Thread from Selected Silkworm Cocoons in Wuxi Workshop.

The imperfect silk cocoons having been removed by the nimble fingered worker, the unblemished selected cocoons go through a further process, which I will leave to your imagination. The silk on the cocoons is then ready to be unraveled. Picture shows silkworm cocoons being sorted by Chinese worker in Wuxi workshop.
It is still a mystery to me how the workers were able to find the beginning of the silk thread of the silkworm cocoons to be able to feed them into the spinning machines, but even so, it seemed to be a continuous process.

Skeins of White Silk Thread Spun from Cocoons of Silkworms at Wuxi.

Picture of machines spinning silk thread from cocoons of silkworms in workshop in Wuxi, China.


The silk cocoons were floating in hot water at the base of the machines, to be wound into skeins at the top, the white silk displaying all its lustre in the dimly lit workshop. A young bare footed worker nearby was packing skeins of glistening white silk thread into a container and I should have liked to have asked her where she was taking them and how many cocoons of silk had been used for one skein. There was the inevitable barrier of different languages, so I just gave her a smile and took her photograph. I doubt whether she remembers the strange foreign fellow after all these years !
