When growing to nearly 40 millimeters, the black silkworms turn into the white cocoon. It need about 22-26 days from hatching to cocoon. The location for raising should be indoor, and full of sunshine, ventilated and sterilized frequently. Person not concerned are not allowed to go.

13. Hang the warp The vertical lines wrapped between of the upper and lower beams paralleling to each other    , these vertical lines called warp . The odd and the even silk warp was separated by a tabular ledger , Tightening warp forming warp tension, the crossbar which separate the odd warp and even warp called “zheng”。 Hanging the wrap in a rectangular frame - machine beams . Wind the warp around the upper and lower horizontal beam one by one according to a fixed distance, warp density determines the texture of the carpet, the more the warp the more dense and clear the pattern, of course, the greater workload.

14. base Knitter thread a silk yarn across the entire interval of a warp mesh from left to right , this horizontal interspersed up to eight or nine times , This line is called the transverse weft . This simple technique form a basis ,protecting the tie point of the silk yarn which form the blanket later, the foundation called "Kerim" or "foundation" , also the starting point of weaving the ear. Even a narrow foundation can also keep the hand knot from spread. After the formation of one to six inches of the foundation, weaver started the first row of weavers knot, after two to three rows of knots, again thread a weft across the warp alternately, and then use a comb-like metal tool weft down to compact the yarn, also compact the knots below the weft , all these are the reasons why oriental rugs are so strong.

15. Knitting When beginning to weave a new carpet, weavers will not immediately use the color line to knot , first weave a few centimeters smooth strip that seems like canvas ,then follow the blueprint, knot with different colors of yarn on the warp . Then cut the silk yarn with a special knife wool, forming a pile, when finish the first row,tightening the yarn, the warp forming a cross (carpet with tightening the warp is more thick ,using more yarn ,hard)compacted the silk yarn with a special iron comb after you thread a weft silk, in this way ,one row finished,carpet weaving is from the point to the line by line to the surface, exquisite carpets will take shape little by little.
