So this is how it's made...


You start with silk worms in cocoons...

Here the silk worms are saying hello...

They are given chopped up mulberry leaves to eat...


Trays and trays of worms...


The cocoons are put into hot water and the silk thread
is taken off and spun...


Metres and metres of thread in stunning colours...

Intricate embroidery done by hand, 8 hour days for the staff...

Each time I see the people who do this, I am amazed.
They take a photo, and skilfully turn it into a beautifully
worked piece of art made of thread...
