• The silkworm is a beneficial, eco-friendly insect reared commercially for the production of cocoons, and in turn, silk. Silk is a natural fiber and the fabric made out of it has a wide market throughout the world. Traditionally, household spinners and weavers produce a variety of beautifully colored fabrics for both domestic and ceremonial uses by blending different colors. With the advent of dyeing using synthetic dyes, a wide range of colors is available for commercial and artisan markets.
