Primary

Silk

Mnemonic

Put thread in the mouth of a worm while the moon is out and it will poop out some silk. That's why they call them silkworms, didn't you know? But it has to be while the moon is out, otherwise normal thread will come right back out the other end of the worm. The moon is what makes the magic happen.
