Home Dictionary Name: raw silkRaw silk
Raw silk, is thin and fine filament of silkworm. Whatever has been eaten by the silkworm, it brings out as a liquid which gets solidified on coming into contact with oxygen.The solidified material is the silk filament. The silkworm spins the silk filament around itself as a protective shell and this is called cocoon. Each such cocoon is nothing but a continuous length of the silk filament of about 500 metres.The silk filament in a continuous unbroken length is capable of being reeled out only before the moth comes out. So the pupa inside the cocoon is not allowed to undergo metamorphosis, and is destroyed by throwing the cocoon into hot water. The thread then reeled out of the cocoon on yanks either in country charkhas or filature basin is the silk yarn, and is called raw silk, State of Karnataka v.
