Difference between raw silk and spun silk.

Silk containing sericin is called RAW silk. The gummy substance, affording protection during processing, is usually retained until the yarn or fabric stage and is removed by boiling the silk in soap and water, leaving it soft and lustrous, with weight reduced by as much as 30 percent. 

SPUN silk is made from short lengths obtained from damaged cocoons or broken off during processing
