The process chart illustrates the life cycle of silkworms and the

manufacturing of silk cloth from it. It is quite evident that the


silkworms have a maturing period of 16 days which becomes the raw
material for the production of silk cloth.
It can be clearly observed from the chart that, the lifecycle of the
Silkworm embarks from eggs. In the initial 10 days, the eggs
transform into the Silkworm larva on the mulberry leaf. After that,
the larva starts to evolve into silk thread in the further 4-6 weeks. In
the third stage, the larva becomes a cocoon in the timespan of 3-6
days. Lastly, the whole lifecycle results in moth after 16 days of
becoming a cocoon.
The production of silk cloth starts with selection of appropriate raw
material where it is boiled in a container. Secondly, the cocoon are
unwinded into silk threads which are approximately 300-900 meter in
length. Furthermore, multiple silk threads are twisted and dyed in a
bucket. Lastly, the process ends with making weave from the colored
threads.
