[Raising silkworms (1/3)] I wanted to try making silk, so I decided to raise silkworms. I'm thinking about raising silkworms, taking thread from the cocoons, and using that thread as fishing line. I bought silkworms that had grown to three litters, so they will start making cocoons in about two weeks. I'm looking forward to seeing if I can use silk as fishing line. ◉ [Country living] Raising silkworms (1/3) [Try raising silkworms] ⇨ • [Country living] Raising silkworms (1/3) ◉ [Country living] Raising silkworms (2/3) [Silkworm cocoons] ⇨ • [Country living] Raising silkworms (2/3) ◉ [Country living] Raising silkworms (3/3) [Removing silk thread from cocoons (failure)] ⇨ • [Country living] Raising silkworms (3/3) [Removing silk thread from cocoons (failure)] Silkworms can be purchased for 2,640 (excluding tax) plus shipping, so if you're interested, give it a try. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ [Where to buy] Craft News from Satoyama Cocoons and Silkworms → https://sato-yama.jp/kaiko-set-siro.html [Silkworms purchased this time] K-S4 Silkworm Rearing Set 2-Week Course 20 White Cocoons [Set Contents] ・20 silkworms (plus 2 spares) ・Instructions for raising silkworms ・500g artificial feed ・1 clear case for observation ・Rearing box (also serves as shipping box) ・Materials for making mabushi (mabushi → place to make cocoons) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 【Profile】 Sonoda Kaoru In order to find her own idea of a human lifestyle, she is exploring a lifestyle that incorporates the calendar and the wisdom of her ancestors (hunting, beekeeping, fishing, etc.) ◉BLOG https://culturalproperty.net/ ◉Instagram / kaorusonoda ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ #Silkworms #Silk thread #Cocoons #Silk
