Silk - making Process
Silk - making is an ancient and exquisite craft. First of all, silkworms are raised. Silkworms feed on mulberry leaves and spin cocoons under careful care. When the cocoons are mature, the reeling process begins. People put the cocoons into hot water, draw out the silk threads, and combine several silk threads into one raw silk.
Then comes the silk - weaving process, which requires the use of a loom.

The raw silk serves as the warp and weft. Under the skillful operation of the weavers, they are intertwined according to specific patterns and textures. The weavers use both their hands and feet to control the rhythm of the loom, making the silk threads shuttle back and forth, and gradually forming the silk fabric surface.
After that is the dyeing process. According to the required colors, natural dyes are used. The silk is immersed in the dye solution, allowing the colors to penetrate evenly, thus obtaining the gorgeous and colorful silk.


Every step in the silk - making process requires superb skills and rich experience. From the silkworm cocoons to the gorgeous silk, it embodies the painstaking efforts of countless craftsmen. It carries historical culture and has become an exquisitely beautiful fabric, deeply loved by people and shining brightly in the fields of clothing and decoration.
