Our next stop on our Artisan's tour was the silk farm. We've been to a silk factory before in China, so we were somewhat familiar with how the silk is made, but here we were able to see it being dyed and formed into beautiful works of art.
The farm where they grow all the food for the silk worms.
Munchin' on lunch.
Mating. Gee dinner and a show, who knew?
Their cocoons.
Boiling them to release the silk strands.
Comparing raw vs. fine silk.
Spinning.
Weaving.
These gals do some AMAZING work!
