Hi
We are on Unit 14 of Preparing about the Silk Road and my daughter needed to write the process of making silk. We watched this short you-tube video and it showed the process very well. Only warning is the fact that there are dead silkworms after the silk is unraveled. But otherwise very informative 4 minute video tour of a silk production factory. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wbmEjTvszI

Thanks for sharing! I didn't even think to look for a video of this, we just got some books from the library.

Fun, isn't it?!
I was so excited at that unit. Being a spinner, my girls know all about the silk from me making yarn from silk hankies. I plan to get some coccoons that we can work with this spring/summer.
