VAT: GB 594989354  QUITE INTERESTING The tips of the young mulberry trees are harvested and taken indoors. The Bombyx Mori moth, which lives for 5 days and doesn‛t eat drink or fly, lays about 500 eggs which hatch into silkworms. These eat the mulberry tree leaves for about 30 days before pupating in bunches of twigs or manmade latticework. Each worm spins its own cocoon with about a mile of silk which it makes from its saliva. The cocoons are collected and then softened in hot water. Strands from several at a time are wound onto spinning wheels. Each scarf is made from the silk of about 1500 cocoons. IMPORTANT Because of the natural dyes used, you should advise your customers to wash deep colours before wearing.
