CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How many silkworm cocoons are needed to make one pound of silk?

1. How many silkworm pupae are needed for a 10-jin silk quilt?

A 10-jin silk quilt requires about 5,600 silk cocoons.

Silk quilts are sold by kilograms. One small hand-peeled cotton quilt requires 4-6 silk cocoons, and one large cotton quilt requires 4-5 small hand-peeled cotton quilts. One kilogram of mulberry silk cotton quilts generally contains 35-38 pieces, which means about 560 silk cocoons. If a silk quilt is 10 kilograms of silk, then it is 560*10 kilograms = 5,600 silk cocoons.

2. How many silk cocoons are needed to make a 2-jin silk quilt?

1120 silk cocoons. A silk quilt is measured in kilograms. A hand-peeled cotton quilt requires 4-6 silk cocoons, and a large cotton quilt requires 4-5 hand-peeled cotton quilts. One kilogram of mulberry silk cotton quilt contains 35-38 cocoons, which is 35*4*4=560 cocoons. For example, if a silk quilt is 2 kilograms of silk, it is 560*2 kilograms=1120 silk cocoons.

Silk quilt: a quilt filled with silk. Silk quilts have unique qualities and advantages such as close-fitting and warm, fluffy and soft, breathable and healthy, and deep sleep. Silk is a natural fiber in nature that combines lightness, softness, and fineness. It is known as the "second skin of the human body" and is called the "Queen of Fiber" by the industry.

3. How many cocoons are there in one pound of silk?

One pound of silk floss is made from about 600 silk cocoons. If the silk floss is made from cocoons one by one, it takes 1.5 hours to boil the cocoons + 15 minutes to wash them + 2 hours to peel them + 1 hour to open the floss + 30 minutes to pull and thread them + 3 hours to dry them = 8 hours and 15 minutes. So it basically takes a whole day.

Silk washing and maintenance:

1 When washing mulberry silk, use neutral detergent and water. Do not twist it after washing and do not expose it to the sun. Hang it naturally to dry.

2 When washing pure silk, if you add a teaspoon of vinegar to the water, the fabric will be brighter after washing.

3. Dry the garment until 80% dry and then iron at medium temperature to remove wrinkles. Iron with the reverse side facing up to maintain the gloss. Avoid spraying water to prevent water stains.

4. Fire prevention: keep it away from the stove and do not place it together with mothballs, otherwise it will become brittle.

4. Does anyone know how many silkworms are needed to make a silk quilt with one pound of silk?

It takes 600-1000 silkworms to make one kilogram of silk quilt. One kilogram of silk is made of about 600 cocoons. To make silk floss from cocoons, you need to boil the cocoons, wash the cocoons, peel the cocoons, open the floss, pull the threads, and dry them in the sun. Each step is the result of the hard work of the silk farmers. It is natural and precious! Silk is a continuous long fiber solidified by the silk fluid secreted by mature silkworms when they make cocoons. It is also called natural silk and is a natural fiber.

5. Raising silkworms, three seasons a year, how many silkworms are needed to produce 1,000 kilograms of silk?

The weights of silk cocoons, wet cocoons, dry cocoons, and silk are all different, and it has something to do with the moisture content. I will give you an estimate based on my many years of experience in the industry: the raw material we use to make silk quilts is called silk floss. 1 jin of silk = 30 pieces of silk floss, 1 piece of silk floss = 33 cocoons, that is, 1 jin of dry silk = 1,000 cocoons. 1,000 jin of silk = 1 million cocoons. You have three seasons a year, which means about 35 silkworms each time... Excluding sick cocoons and mortality, the average death rate is about 380,000.

6. How many silk cocoons are there in one pound?

One kilogram of silk floss requires about 600 double-palace silkworm cocoons.

If the production time is to make silk floss from silk cocoons, it takes 8 hours and 15 minutes to boil the cocoons, wash them for 15 minutes, peel them for 2 hours, open the floss for 1 hour, string them for 30 minutes, and dry them in the sun for 3 hours.

Two and a half kilograms of fresh silk cocoons can produce one kilogram of dry silk. The silkworm pupae in the dry cocoons will wrap up half of the silk, so one dry cocoon can only yield less than half of the silk. If a fresh cocoon can produce 0.15 kilograms of cooked silk, a dry cocoon can produce 0.38 kilograms of cooked silk.

7. Does anyone know how many silk cocoons are needed to make a silk quilt?

Your question is incomplete. Silk quilts are sold by jin. One small hand-peeled cotton bag requires about 4-6 cocoons, and a large cotton bag requires about 4-5 small hand-peeled cotton bags. One jin of mulberry silk cotton bags usually have about 35-38 pieces, which means 35*4*4=560 cocoons. This number is required at least. If the silk quilt is 2 jin of silk, then it is 560*2 jin=1120 cocoons. Based on this calculation, I don't know how many cocoons my mother has to peel every year, haha
