silk photos

To go with today’s earlier post on Sabahar, here are a couple of photos.

To give you an idea of scale, these silkworms are as thick as my pointer finger. They are at the age where they are about to cocoon. Maybe when I go back later this week, they will have cocooned.

The back line has woven fabric. The line across the front (with the bird) has washed cocoons, drying. The next stage for the cocoons is to be spun into yarn.
