Preparation of non-spun silk and corresponding products

Abstract

A method for preparing a textile can include obtaining silk components, such as non-spun silk components, from a cocoon. The method can also involve assembling the obtained silk components obtained from the cocoon into a pattern, and attaching the non-spun silk components together. The method can still further involve shaping the attached non-spun silk components, and finalizing the shape through heat-treatment. In one implementation, heat-treatment of the shaped components comprises heating the components with a heating apparatus (e.g., iron, or oven, etc.) for an appropriate time and at an appropriate temperature. A variety of end products, including jewelry, and textiles for further processing generally, can be made from the silk prepared in accordance with an implementation of the invention.
