Open in App
Solution

Silk is obtained from the cocoons of silkworms.
Once cocoons are obtained, they undergo boiling. It is done to soften them, reduce the stickiness and loosen the fibres.
After boiling, reeling is done to unwind the silk fibres from the cocoons.
After reeling, spinning is done to convert the silk fibres into silk yarn. It is done with the help of spinning wheels or machines.
After, spinning, weaving is done to convert silk yarn into silk fabric. It is done using looms.
Therefore, the correct order of steps in the production of silk fabric is:
Cocoon Boiling Reeling Spinning Weaving Silk fabric
