... cocoons with one worm can be spun using a machine and are used to make traditional silk like we are used to, but the cocoons with two worms have to be spun by hand and are used to make the filling for silk duvets.

I took the subway to the end of the line, braved the harassment by drivers wanting to earn money by driving people (little dangerous, but not bad) and got on the local bus to the temple.
