3. Throwing: Reeled silk is a term applied to the raw silk strand that is formed by combining several filaments from separate cocoons. Reeled silk is transformed into silk yarns - also called silk thread-by a process known as throwing. The raw silk skeins are sorted according to size, color, and length or quantity, then soaked in warm water with soap or oil.

Weaving is a major method of fabric construction. The technique probably became known before spinning. Spinning developed when people discovered that the raw material could be improved before they were woven. In the course of time, rude looms were made, which were simple and hand-operated, fabrics produced on such looms are also known as hand loom fabrics where every thing is done by hands. The modern power loom used in the textile industry today essentially performs the same operation as the simple hand operated loom. The fabric produced on power looms is made comparitively faster and has few defects in comparison to hand looms.
