The Silk Butterflies

Millions of Butterflies

Trillions of silkworms are bred every year to produce silk. Most of them pupate and die from the boiling water in the cocoon.

Our silkworms pupate, develop into silk moths in the cocoon and are then allowed to hatch. The cocoons are only then processed into silk yarn.

The silk butterflies are allowed to continue their natural life cycle.

That's why our team includes millions of butterflies that complete their metamorphosis every year. There are various butterflies that provide us with raw materials for producing silk.

The mulberry moth is the most widely bred silk moth. The caterpillar is just as white as the cocoon and the completed butterfly.

The tussah moth, whose cocoon has a slightly yellowish or golden hue and is somewhat coarser and irregular.
