Explanation

Throwing is the textile process of twisting silk fibres together to form strong, smooth yarn. This twisting adds strength and makes silk suitable for weaving.

Degumming removes natural gum from silk. Carding aligns fibres. Bailing packages materials. Only throwing refers to twisting silk into yarn.

The throwing process is essential for silk production. Proper twisting creates the lustrous, strong silk thread used in fine fabrics.
