Question

Reeling of silk is:
a.) A process of making silk reels
b.) Spinning of silk fibres
c.) Weaving of silk cloth
d.) The process of taking silk thread from the cocoon

Answer 1

Hint: Silk reeling is a core method of movement and is trained throughout the curriculum including solo forms, individual solo exercises, as well as in two-person work; and is the final phase of sericulture before commercial sales.
Complete answer:
Let us look into silk reeling as a concept so as to help answer this question effectively.
Silk reeling is the process by which a number of cocoon baves are reeled together to produce a single thread. This is achieved by unwinding filaments collectively from a group of cooked cocoons at one end in a warm water bath and winding the resultant thread onto a fast-moving reel. Raw silk reeling may be classified by direct reeling method on a standard sized reel, indirect method of reeling on small reels, and the transfer of reeled silk from small reels onto standard sized reels on a re-reeling machine. The last technique is primarily applied in modern silk reeling processes.
There are many types of silk reeling machines in use, the most prominent of which are the Sitting Type Reeling Machine, the Multi-end Reeling Machine and the Automatic Reeling Machine.
Thus, we can conclude that the answer to this question is d).
Note:
The original Chinese name of this procedure derives from the twisting and spiralling movements of the silkworm larva as it wraps itself in its cocoon, and to the metaphorical principle of "reeling the silk from a silk worm's cocoon". In order to draw out the silk successfully the action must be smooth and consistent without jerking or changing direction sharply.
