Although these techniques were strictly controlled by imperial decree, eventually silkworms were smuggled out to establish sericulture in Korea, Japan, and India. It seems to be first produced in China around 3000 BC. Silk was spun in ancient China from silkworms (b<i>ombyx mori</i>) as early as 5000 BC. Over the period from 2700 BC to 1600 BC, domestication techniques enabled extensive production of silk thread and cloth.
This silk cocoon is made of one single thread of raw silk that ranges from 1,000 to more than 3,000 feet in length. The silk is produced in the salivary glands of the silkworm and it is used for protection during the silkwormâs pupal stage. Because silk is considered one of the worldâs most beautiful fabrics, it is estimated that approximately 75 million pounds of raw silk are produced each year. It takes more than 3,000 cocoons to make one pound of silk and more than 10 billion pounds of mulberry leaves to feed the silkworms that produce the silk.
