MANUFACTURE PROCESS OF SILK
Cultivation of Cocoon
Filature Operation
Throwing
Degumming of Thrown Silk
THERE ARE 4 STAGES –LIFECYCLE OF MOTH
Female moth lays eggs
The Egg, which
develops into a
larva,or
caterpillar –
the Silkworm
The Silkworm,
which spins its
cocoon for
protection, to
develop pupa
The Pupa,
emerges
from the
cocoon as a
moth
Cultivation of Cocoons for the
production of raw silk is called as
Sericulture
Filature Operation The Cocoons Are Delivered To Factory Called Filature, For Different
Process To Unwind The Silk.
The different operation are as follows
 Sorting Cocoons
 Softening the sericin
 Reeling the filament.
Sorting Cocoons is the process in which cocoons are first sorted
according to color, size shape and texture. Cocoon from China are
white, Japanese cocoons are creamy white and yellow and Italian
cocoons are yellow.

ITALIAN
Filature Operation
Softening the Sericin is the process in which
cocoons are heated in boiling water to soften
the gummy substance that holds the cocoon
filament. Raw silk consist of about 80%
fibroin and 20% sericin.
Softening Sericin
Filature Operation
Reeling the Filament is the
process of unwinding the
filament from the cocoon.
 Silk filaments are unwound in the reel
and combined together to make
thread of raw silk.
 The filaments from 4 to 8 cocoons are
joined.
 The resulting is called raw silk, which
is consists usually of 48 individual silk
fiber.
 The sericin acts as adhesive in holding
the several filaments.
 The length of the reeled filament is
approximately a quarter of mile long.
THROWING PROCESS
 Twisting one or more threads of raw silk into a
strand sufficiently strong for weaving or knitting.
 Raw silk skeins are sorted according to
size, color and length or quality.
 It is then soaked in warm water with
soap and oil.
 After mechanical drying the skeins are
wound on bobbins.
 During this winding, single strands may
be given any desired amount of twist.
 If two or more yarns are to be doubled,
they are twisted again in same direction.
THROWING PROCESS
FOUR DIFFERENT TYPES OF SILK THREADS ARE
PRODUCED BY THROWING PROCESS
1 – Loose Twist Singles 2 – Hard Twist Singles
3 – Tram 4 – Organzine
The process where filaments or threads from three or more bobbins are
wound together is called doubling.
Tram was wound, thrown and doubled, organzine was wound,
doubled then thrown and doubled again
Silk throwing is the process where the filament from the bobbins is given its full twist.
DEGUMMING OF THROWN SILK
The process of degumming involves putting
thrown silk yarn through final soap bath to
remove the sericin.
 This process brings out the natural luster
and soft feel of the silk.
 25% of the weight is lost by this process.
 After degumming, the silk fiber is creamy
white and less stiff.
CHARACTERISTICS OF SILK FIBER
1. Composition: Silk is composed of 80% of fibroin, which is
protein in nature and 20% of sericin.
2. Strength: Silk has good tensile strength, which allows it
to withstand great pulling pressure.
3. Elasticity: It is an elastic fiber and may be stretched
from 1/7 to 1/5 of its original length.
4. Resilience: Silk fabric retains their shape and have
moderate resistance to wrinkling.
5. Drapability: Silk has a liability and suppleness that ,
aided by its elasticity and resilience, gives it excellent
drape ability.
6. Heat Conductivity: Silk is a protein fiber and is a non-
conductor of heat. It make suitable for winter wear.
7. Absorbency: Silk fabric has good absorbency. Silk can
absorb 11% of its weight in moisture, but range varies
from 10% to as much as 30%.
8. Cleanliness and Wash ability: Silk does not attract dirt
because of its smooth surface. Dirt can be easily
removed by washing or dry cleaning.
9. Reaction to Bleaches: Silk is deteriorated with chlorine
bleaches like sodium hypochlorite. Mild bleach of
hydrogen peroxide or sodium per borate may be used
for silk.
10. Shrinkage: Silk fabrics are subjected only to normal
shrinkage which can be restored by ironing.
11. Effect of Heat: Silk is sensitive to heat and begins to
decompose at 165C.
12. Effect of Light: Silk fabric weakens on exposure to
sunlight.
CHARACTERISTICS OF SILK FIBER
13. Resistance to Mildew: Silk will not mildew unless left
for sometime in damp state.
13. Resistance to Insect: Silk may be attacked by the
larvae or clothe moths or carpet beetles.
13. Reaction to Alkalis: Silk can be damaged if the
concentration and temperature is high. A mild soap or
detergent in lukewarm water is advisable.
13. Reaction to Acid: Concentrated mineral acids will
dissolve silk faster than wool. Organic acids do not
harm.
13. Affinity for Dyes: Silk has good absorbency and thus
has good affinity for dyes.
13. Resistance to Perspiration: Perspiration weakens and
yellows silk fabric.
CARE
Dry cleaning is preferred. But can be
laundered at home using mild detergent. It
should be ironed at medium to low
temperature by placing a semi wet muslin
fabric. It should be dried in shade.
SUMMARY - SILK
 Silk is a protein fiber, which is obtained from
cocoons of the silkworms.
 The fabric made of twisted fibers exhibits good
strength and are very elastic in nature.
 These fibers are suitable for winter apparels as
these are bad conductors of heat and also
provides comfort in warmer weathers
 Silk is called as hygienic material as it does
not attract dirt.
 Silk absorb the dyes very well because of
their amorphous nature.

  • 3. SILK  IN INDIA SILK IS OBTAINED FROM DIFFERENT SPECIES OF SILKWORM  MULBERRY SILK  MUGA SILK  ERI SILK  TUSSAR SILK  CULTIVATION AND MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF SILK IS KNOWN AS SERICULTURE
  • 4. TUSSAR SILK MUGA SILK ERI SILK MULBERRY SILK
  • 5. MANUFACTURE PROCESS OF SILK Cultivation of Cocoon Filature Operation Throwing Degumming of Thrown Silk
  • 6. THERE ARE 4 STAGES –LIFECYCLE OF MOTH Female moth lays eggs The Egg, which develops into a larva,or caterpillar – the Silkworm The Silkworm, which spins its cocoon for protection, to develop pupa The Pupa, emerges from the cocoon as a moth Cultivation of Cocoons for the production of raw silk is called as Sericulture
  • 7. Filature Operation The Cocoons Are Delivered To Factory Called Filature, For Different Process To Unwind The Silk. The different operation are as follows  Sorting Cocoons  Softening the sericin  Reeling the filament. Sorting Cocoons is the process in which cocoons are first sorted according to color, size shape and texture. Cocoon from China are white, Japanese cocoons are creamy white and yellow and Italian cocoons are yellow. Sorting Cocoons CHINA JAPANESE ITALIAN
  • 8. Filature Operation Softening the Sericin is the process in which cocoons are heated in boiling water to soften the gummy substance that holds the cocoon filament. Raw silk consist of about 80% fibroin and 20% sericin. Softening Sericin
  • 9. Filature Operation Reeling the Filament is the process of unwinding the filament from the cocoon.  Silk filaments are unwound in the reel and combined together to make thread of raw silk.  The filaments from 4 to 8 cocoons are joined.  The resulting is called raw silk, which is consists usually of 48 individual silk fiber.  The sericin acts as adhesive in holding the several filaments.  The length of the reeled filament is approximately a quarter of mile long.
  • 10. THROWING PROCESS  Twisting one or more threads of raw silk into a strand sufficiently strong for weaving or knitting.  Raw silk skeins are sorted according to size, color and length or quality.  It is then soaked in warm water with soap and oil.  After mechanical drying the skeins are wound on bobbins.  During this winding, single strands may be given any desired amount of twist.  If two or more yarns are to be doubled, they are twisted again in same direction.
  • 12. FOUR DIFFERENT TYPES OF SILK THREADS ARE PRODUCED BY THROWING PROCESS 1 – Loose Twist Singles 2 – Hard Twist Singles 3 – Tram 4 – Organzine The process where filaments or threads from three or more bobbins are wound together is called doubling. Tram was wound, thrown and doubled, organzine was wound, doubled then thrown and doubled again Silk throwing is the process where the filament from the bobbins is given its full twist.
  • 13. DEGUMMING OF THROWN SILK The process of degumming involves putting thrown silk yarn through final soap bath to remove the sericin.  This process brings out the natural luster and soft feel of the silk.  25% of the weight is lost by this process.  After degumming, the silk fiber is creamy white and less stiff.
  • 14. CHARACTERISTICS OF SILK FIBER 1. Composition: Silk is composed of 80% of fibroin, which is protein in nature and 20% of sericin. 2. Strength: Silk has good tensile strength, which allows it to withstand great pulling pressure. 3. Elasticity: It is an elastic fiber and may be stretched from 1/7 to 1/5 of its original length. 4. Resilience: Silk fabric retains their shape and have moderate resistance to wrinkling. 5. Drapability: Silk has a liability and suppleness that , aided by its elasticity and resilience, gives it excellent drape ability. 6. Heat Conductivity: Silk is a protein fiber and is a non- conductor of heat. It make suitable for winter wear.
  • 15. 7. Absorbency: Silk fabric has good absorbency. Silk can absorb 11% of its weight in moisture, but range varies from 10% to as much as 30%. 8. Cleanliness and Wash ability: Silk does not attract dirt because of its smooth surface. Dirt can be easily removed by washing or dry cleaning. 9. Reaction to Bleaches: Silk is deteriorated with chlorine bleaches like sodium hypochlorite. Mild bleach of hydrogen peroxide or sodium per borate may be used for silk. 10. Shrinkage: Silk fabrics are subjected only to normal shrinkage which can be restored by ironing. 11. Effect of Heat: Silk is sensitive to heat and begins to decompose at 165C. 12. Effect of Light: Silk fabric weakens on exposure to sunlight.
  • 16. CHARACTERISTICS OF SILK FIBER 13. Resistance to Mildew: Silk will not mildew unless left for sometime in damp state. 13. Resistance to Insect: Silk may be attacked by the larvae or clothe moths or carpet beetles. 13. Reaction to Alkalis: Silk can be damaged if the concentration and temperature is high. A mild soap or detergent in lukewarm water is advisable. 13. Reaction to Acid: Concentrated mineral acids will dissolve silk faster than wool. Organic acids do not harm. 13. Affinity for Dyes: Silk has good absorbency and thus has good affinity for dyes. 13. Resistance to Perspiration: Perspiration weakens and yellows silk fabric.
  • 17. CARE Dry cleaning is preferred. But can be laundered at home using mild detergent. It should be ironed at medium to low temperature by placing a semi wet muslin fabric. It should be dried in shade.
  • 18. SUMMARY - SILK  Silk is a protein fiber, which is obtained from cocoons of the silkworms.  The fabric made of twisted fibers exhibits good strength and are very elastic in nature.  These fibers are suitable for winter apparels as these are bad conductors of heat and also provides comfort in warmer weathers  Silk is called as hygienic material as it does not attract dirt.  Silk absorb the dyes very well because of their amorphous nature.
