Chemically speaking, silk is made of proteins secreted in the fluid state by a caterpillar, popularly known as "silkworm". These silkworms feed on the selected food plants and spin cocoons as a "protective shell" to perpetuate the life. Silkworm has four stages in its life cycle viz., egg, caterpillar, pupa and moth. Man interferes this life cycle at the cocoon stage to obtain the silk, a continuous filament of commercial importance, used in weaving of the dream fabric.

Silk is a continuous filament within each cocoon, having a usable length of about 600 to 900 metres (2,000 to 3,000 feet). It is freed by softening the binding sericin and then locating the filament end and unwinding, or reeling, the filaments from several cocoons at the same time, sometimes with a slight twist, forming a single strand. Several silk strands, each too thin for most uses, are twisted together to make thicker, stronger yarn in the process called throwing, producing various yarns differing according to the amount and direction of the twist imparted.

In the report, all of the silk data are based on the raw silk and spun silk(Spun silk is made from short lengths obtained from damaged cocoons or broken off during processing, twisted together to make yarn.).
