It was incredible to see how the material is transformed from a cocoon into a thread. An insanely fascinating process to witness.

In the pictures (above and below) you can see how the material can also be stretched and used in a less controlled manner to create stuffing for bedding.

I definitely have a new found appreciation for silk after witnessing and understanding what an unbelievable process silk production really is.

The display floor filled with silk was an excellent way to wrap up the silk factory.
I will be back again soon with more to share.
Until next time.
Until next time.
Peace and Love
