Silk and worms

I recently realized that almost everyone Spanish friends I know  as children have had  silkworms. Of course, in my country we have no silkworms (there are others), or mulberries so I have not had this childhood hobby, but when my boss told that the shoe box of his son had been born almost a hundred silkworms I could not resist and I said yes, I am ready to share house with some of them.

Now I have eight worms, I know how is a mulberry tree and eagerly hope my new pet convert in cocoons to try to get a thin silk thread. My English teacher laughs that I will only one thread of teeth, but the process of getting natural fiber now seems me more interested in the outcome applicable.
