The Story of Silk: From Worm Spit to Woven Scarves

The Story of Silk: From Worm Spit to Woven Scarves

What does worm spit have to do with the worldâ€™s most luxurious fabric? Travel to Thailand for a close-up look at wrigglers, weavers, and wearers of silk.

Join author and photographer Richard Sobol as he picks up his camera once more and travels to a small village in Thailand for an in-depth exploration of the story of silk and the labor-intensive process of making it. From nurturing the silkworms to weaving the fabric and photographing the children as they proudly model the finished product, this first-person narrative, illustrated with richly detailed photographs, chronicles the amazing process of creating one of historyâ€™s most desired textiles.
Back matter includes a glossary and further information.
