Properties of Cocoon
 
  • Printer-friendly version

Cocoon has properties like shape, texture and color. Different types of craft items are made by choosing right kind of property.

• Shape:

Shapes of the Cocoon are decided based on the handicraft product, which will be produced.

Cocoon shells are of different shapes.

1. White Dumbbell Shape - NB18
2. White Peanut Shape
3. White Spindle Shape - BM
4. White Oval Shape - NB7
5. White round Shape - KA race



• Texture:

Dumbbells and Peanut Shaped cocoons are harder. It requires a little more effort to cut into the required shapes. Usage of sharp and heavy tools to cut the Cocoon gives a perfect form to assemble.

Oval and Round shaped cocoons have the most comfortable texture to cut and pierce. This shaped Cocoon is majorly used to make most of the artefacts.

Spindle Shaped cocoons are very light. It has a texture of close to 200 GSM paper and is very easy to cut. This shaped Cocoon is used appropriately based on the need of the end product.

• Color:

Cocoon’s natural texture and formation have a high quality of color absorption when died with the pigment and natural dyes; unlike the cotton dying, it does not require the color fixing post dyeing process. After the Dyeing process, the dyed cocoons are treated with anti-dust spray to increase the artefact’s sustenance. However, Anti-dust treatment is optional and depends on the artisan’s interest and product.
