1300 yards - That was supposed to be the amount of silk a worm generated for its cocoon. Each of the drawings contained only a fraction of that in lengths of the lines I drew, and my hand was tired when I finished.
Silk from at least 8 silkworm is gathered and twisted together to make a single thread for weaving. One thread; 8 worms, for just one strand...
Another reason I don't like silk...
