Yet, looking at images of reeled silk of the Madagascan Nephila clavipes, you can see why they persisted.

Japan also plans to reduce the number of reeling basins in the silk filatures, to limit the year's output of reeled silk to 450,000 bales as against last year's 550,000.

The locally reeled silk is used only for Island consumption and the great bulk of cocoons is exported in the raw state, mostly to Lyons and Milan.

It would be to the mutual benefit of England and Cyprus if a direct demand for Cyprus reeled silk could be created and modern reeling plant introduced into the Island.

Then, too, the inner silk of the cocoon is finer than the outer; so unless care is taken to add threads, the reeled silk will be irregular.
