Silk Industry

I really enjoyed the silk industry museum and workshop.  I knew that silk was expensive, but I never realized that there was so much work and effort put into making the silk fabric and designs.  It was interesting and crazy that it takes 8 hours to make a 35cm piece of designed fabric, and 3 days to make that fabric 1 meter.  This is a lot of work and effort, but thanks to the technology behind the loom, it made it simpler for weavers to accomplish their work.
