My aunt Pratong has a silkworm farm in Thailand. Here she is under the house spinning silk. It's much cooler there during the day. The
farang on the bike in the background is me. I spent most of my time biking all over the village. I regret not learning how to spin silk and weave.
The silk is handwoven into fabric. This fabric is usually used to make a sarong. Here are some examples my aunt's fabric. It is shiny, soft, and textured/nubby. I love the patterns and varying colors.
And
voila, here are my aunts and my cousins in their handwoven, silk robes. They are so adorable,
non?
