On our group tour to Turkey this was truly a fascinating stop at the silk rug factory. It’s amazing how they extract the silk from silk worm cocoons and then diligently dye and weave all the rugs by hand. The design and details are so fine its hard to believe a single person does it all with no electric powered machines whatsoever. We can’t wait to do another trip to Turkey in 2013!
