What is Reeling of Silk

Answer:

The metaphorical principle of “reeling the silk from a silk worm’s cocoon” is derived from the twisting and spiralling movements of the silkworm larva as it wraps itself in its cocoon.

Process:

Hundreds of cocoons are thrown into a pot of boiling water. Each cocoon produces a single thread. To correctly draw out the silk, the action must be smooth and steady, with no jerking or abrupt changes in direction. If you move too quickly, the silk will break, and if you move too slowly, it will attach to itself and become knotted.
