    Silkworm and Cocoon

    Uploaded by

    Remya
    The document discusses silkworms and silk production. Silkworms spin silk cocoons and emerge as moths. Their cocoons contain 300-900 meters of silk thread. Silk is a natural protein fiber produced by silkworm and mulberry worms to form cocoons. Dyeing silk directly by feeding silkworms dyed mulberry leaves can eliminate polluting dyeing processes. The proposed product is a tiered sleeved shrug inspired by caterpillar texture, with adjustable sleeves that can be opened, closed, or tucked. It would be made from peace silk or ahimsa silk produced without harming the silkworms.

    SILKWORM
    and COCOON
    RESEARCH About the topic:
    Silkworms are caterpillars that spin a silk cocoon and change
    into silkworm moth, while inside their cocoon emerging to
    mate and lay eggs . After hatching from an egg the worm takes
    about one month to grow large enough to spin the silk. The
    cocoon is made of one thread of raw silk from 300 to 900
    meters long

    Sustainability :
    Silk is a natural protein fiber , some forms of which can be
    woven into textiles. The protein fiber of silk is composed
    mainly of fibroin and is produced by certain insect larvae to
    form cocoons

    Zero wastage:
    Commercial silk fiber produced by mulberry silkworm is
    generally white. The modern textile industry demands that silk
    fiber be dyed into a variety of colors that can be weaved into
    attractive textiles. But dyeing is one of the most polluting
    industries. Dyeing silk directly by feeding silkworms would
    eliminate those water-washing steps. The technique involves
    feeding the larvae their favorite food — mulberry leaves —
    dipped in dye. The dye is transported along the biochemical
    pathways of the silkworm to produce a colored cocoon and
    colored silk fiber.
    TECHNIQUE

    Tiered sleeved shrug Reversible


    inspired by the shrug
    caterpillar texture

    The sleeves
    can be opened Fabric used
    fully or closed would be
    and tucked on ahimsa silk
    the shoulder

    Piping on
    the
    sleeves
    MAKING IT PERSONAL

    The product that I have made is not only


    inspired by the texture of the caterpillar it
    is also inspired by the cocoon . The worm
    is protected by the warmth of the cocoon.
    Similarly the shrug would be giving us
    warmth and the sleeves of the shrug can
    be adjusted according to the needs ,
    similarly it is a reversible one which gives
    women two options in one
    Along with this the fabric used would be
    ‘ahimsa silk’. Ahimsa silk, also known as
    peace silk, is a type of silk that is
    purported to be made in a fashion that is
    much more humane to the creatures
    creating the silk than many traditional
    methodologies that involve killing of the
    worm which personally I am against.
