Silk Cocoon are very interesting things, they have been used for clothing for thousands of years and it all started with the Chinese empire. I personally have unraveled a Silk Cocoon before, its actually a lot easier than you would think, the entire silk cocoon is one continuous strand of silk!! of course all I did was unravel the thread, I have never tried to weave it though, I would imagine it would be difficult work! If you would like some more information on unraveling the silk cocoons I would recommend checking out this link .This is what I followed and it was very well made, this is a really cool project for kids to observe and do! There is so much history behind a single silk cocoon it’s amazing.
