How to Make Silk in 6 Steps
By DIY Maven
Designboom has a fascinating pictorial of the traditional silk making process of the craftspeople in a small village in north-east Tailand. Starting with silk worms, which aren't actually worms, and ending with luscious fabric, the photos illustrate the proceedure in 6 steps.
Step 1: Raising silkworms & harvesting cocoons.
Step 6: Ikat (binding).
Designboom will soon sell hand-made silk scarves made from this village.
