It is created by two different silk worms spinning their cocoons closely together and their fibres tangling.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.madebytheforge.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/silkwormsBlog.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2111\" src=\"http:\/\/www.madebytheforge.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/silkwormsBlog.jpg\" alt=\"silkwormsBlog\" width=\"275\" height=\"137\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The thread created is rougher than other silk materials and the finished fabric contains bumps and irregularities called slubs which are part of its unique charm.<\/p>\n<p>The humble silkworm is blissfully unaware of its importance to the natural fabric industry. It is said that a Chinese Empress discovered a silk worm\u2019s white cocoon after it fell into her tea cup. The Empress was a keen weaver and after noticing a strand coming away from the fuzzy object she began to study it more closely. She unwound the cocoon into one long filament and the rest is history. The amazing silkworm caterpillar feeds on mulberry trees until it is ready to pupate and then uses huge silk producing glands to spin a cocoon. The clever caterpillar adds a protective gummy protein to the thread which makes the silk cocoon rigid.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.madebytheforge.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/singlesilkwormcocoon.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2113\" src=\"http:\/\/www.madebytheforge.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/singlesilkwormcocoon.jpg\" alt=\"singlesilkwormcocoon\" width=\"320\" height=\"160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.madebytheforge.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/singlesilkwormcocoon.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.madebytheforge.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/singlesilkwormcocoon-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Chinese Empress had accidentally discovered a way to remove this hard coating and release the fine silk thread\u2026.immersion in hot water!
