TIL we kill silkworms to get silk. I thought it was like sheep and wool. No more silk.

@Eli414 Devin Nunes’ cow 🐮 Moths chew their way out of the cocoon, breaking the thread and making it unusable.

Therefore the silkworm is killed before it turns to moth.

Jere Vuorenala @Eli414 Devin Nunes’ cow 🐮 In Germany we call that 'wild silk'. To prevent the thread from breaking it is thickened. So not the same quality but the moths are not killed.

Jean Liss🇺🇲 BC @Eli414 Devin Nunes’ cow 🐮 “Peace” silk is not the same as raw silk.

Raw silk is produced the same way as “normal” silk—just not chemically treated before weaving.

Peace silk is not only rare, but actually leads to even more deaths of caterpillars than regular silk production.
