100% Pure Mulberry Yarns made From Many Process 

Mulberry silk is a type of silk produced by silkworms primarily fed with mulberry leaves. The manufacturing process of mulberry silk involves several stages, from the cultivation of silkworms to the final silk product. Here is an overview of the mulberry silk manufacturing process:

Silkworm Rearing:

  • Silkworm eggs are carefully hatched to produce young silkworm larvae.
  • These larvae are then fed a diet of fresh, handpicked mulberry leaves. The quality of leaves directly affects the quality of silk produced.

Cocoon Formation:

  • Silkworms consume mulberry leaves and produce a fluid substance called sericin, which hardens upon contact with the air.
  • Over a period of about 25-30 days, the silkworms spin themselves into protective cocoons made of a single continuous thread of silk. Each cocoon consists of a single thread that can be as long as 900 meters.

Cocoon Harvesting:

  • The fully formed cocoons are carefully harvested to prevent damage to the delicate silk threads. The silkworms inside are often killed, either through boiling or heating, to soften the sericin and make it easier to unwind the silk threads.

Silk Thread Extraction:

  • The harvested cocoons are soaked in hot water to soften the sericin, a protein glue that holds the cocoon threads together.
  • After softening, the cocoons are carefully unwound, and the long, continuous silk threads are extracted. This process is known as reeling.

Spinning:

  • The extracted silk threads are twisted together to create thicker threads, which are then spun into silk yarn. This process may be done manually or using mechanical spinning machines.

Dyeing:

  • The silk yarn is dyed to achieve the desired color. Dyeing can be done at various stages of the manufacturing process, depending on the final product.

Weaving:

  • The dyed silk yarn is woven into fabric on looms to create a wide range of silk textiles, such as silk sarees, silk shirts, silk scarves, and more.

Finishing:

  • After weaving, the silk fabric may undergo various finishing processes, including washing, steaming, and ironing, to enhance its texture, luster, and overall appearance.

Final Product:

The finished silk fabric can be cut, stitched, and tailored to create various clothing items and other silk products.The quality and grade of mulberry silk can vary depending on factors like the quality of the mulberry leaves, the health of the silkworms, and the expertise of the artisans involved in the process. High-quality mulberry silk is known for its softness, smooth texture, and natural luster, making it highly prized in the textile industry
