How to make Spider Silk Thread

Step 5 Combine Fibers

In order to combine the all the lengths of thread into two long lengths, I placed the lengths next to each other, overlapping by 2 to 3 inches on the ends, depending on how thick the fibers were. I then twisted them together in the same way that I twisted the fibers when I collected the silk.

I ended up with two lengths of silk thread, that I wound together in the next step.
