From egg-laying to finished silk products like scarves, we saw the entire process. On our second full day in Siem Reap we went to the Angkor Silk Farm. Our guide took us through the campus and showed us each step of the process.
Becca was a little disturbed to find out they have to kill the silk worm to make silk. Both Becca and Isaiah enjoyed playing with some of the natural dye elements. At one point their hands were completely red from playing in curry seeds.
Cambodian handwoven silk is very expensive, so we just enjoyed looking at the finished products and bits of history in the last exhibit. Anyone interested in buying a silk larva dress?
Great pictures! Great time!! Thanks again!
