cocoon

silkworm cocoon

她还设计了一个特殊的卷轴,把蚕茧里的纤维拉成一根单线,这样它们就足够结实,可以织成织物。

She also devised a special reel to draw the fibres from the cocoon into a single thread so that they would be strong enough to be woven into fabric.

事情是这样的,当她喝着茶的时候,她收集的一个蚕茧落在热茶里,然后蚕茧开始散开,变成了一根细线。

It just so happened that while she was sipping some tea, one of the cocoons that she had collected landed in the hot tea and started to unravel into a fine thread.
