Case spun by a silkworm (6)

I believe the answer is:

cocoon

(Other definitions for cocoon that I've seen before include "Silky sheath around a chrysalis" , "Chrysalis casing" , "protective clothing" , "Protective covering around some animal eggs" , "Protective case for insect" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
