If you are a clothing manufacturer and plan to produce clothes made of silk, you would most likely purchase from a fabric supplier.  However, if you are a yarn or fabric supplier, you may want to locate the actual silk fiber.

Extracting raw silk starts by cultivating the silkworms on mulberry leaves. Once the worms start pupating in their cocoons, these are dissolved in boiling water in order for individual long fibers to be extracted and fed into the spinning reel.
