Eri Silk - Process

Process

Eri caterpillars eat a number of plants, including and kesseru. It is grown in Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh, Orissa, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and some small villages in India. The heavy rainfall and humid atmosphere of the region suits the Eri culture. The spun yarns are often more "cottony" than most Bombyx silks, although some Eri yarns can be very soft and shiny.

After the completion of 30-32 days, the silk worm crawls in search of a comfortable place among the leaves to spin the cocoons.

Famous quotes containing the word process:

    There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one’s own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind.... Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn’t, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn’t have to; but if he didn’t want to he was sane and had to.
    Joseph Heller (b. 1923)

    In contrast to revenge, which is the natural, automatic reaction to transgression and which, because of the irreversibility of the action process can be expected and even calculated, the act of forgiving can never be predicted; it is the only reaction that acts in an unexpected way and thus retains, though being a reaction, something of the original character of action.
    Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)

    Experiences in order to be educative must lead out into an expanding world of subject matter, a subject matter of facts or information and of ideas. This condition is satisfied only as the educator views teaching and learning as a continuous process of reconstruction of experience.
    John Dewey (1859–1952)
