Odor aside. Here in the silk mill, you can see the eggs of the caterpillars

then the caterpillars are fed (approx. 3 weeks)

Now the caterpillars are ready and will ...

... placed in these branches ...

After about 10 days the pupae will ...

... killed with steam so that the cocoon remains undamaged

then the production/processing of the silk begins

This is how the threads are spun, the individual threads are hardly visible

The spun threads are wound onto spools here (previously by hand!)
