I took this video on one of my visits to my weavers in 2010. This man is a member of the last family in Turkey to still raise the silk worms, spin, dye and weave silk on old-style looms. Due to modern day methods of producing silk and the factory production of silk textile, soon this family will have to abandon this generational business due to the economics of it all. This would truly be a tragedy as the quality of silk they produce cannot be compared to anything else in the market.
