Mary Kaiser's sister-in-law, Sanja, wrote to Mary recently and sent pictures from her trip to the
Konavle region, in Croatia this past May. Thanks, Mary, for sharing Sanja's note and photographs with us.
Dear Mary,
I
thought you would like to see this - silk production and use as it has
been done in Dalmatia (and many other places on the Mediterranean) since
the 15th century. The photos were taken in Konavle, a beautiful valley
in the hinterland of Dubrovnik, where women again grow silk worms on
mulberry leaves and spin the fine threads to make their fine embroidery.
I was lucky to visit this May, when I could see the worms, the moths
and the cocoons. Here is more about it: http://www.inyourpocket.com/croatia/dubrovnik/Silk-Production-in-Konavle_72514f
Hope you enjoy it, love,
Sanja
