Speaker: Esther Peregrine
Esther Peregrine began raising silkworms in 2006 and she fell in love with the whole progression of watching the silkworms grow and make their cocoons, transforming the cocoons into yarn or thread and ultimately weaving or knitting a finished silk scarf or shirt. She also had the opportunity to participate in a Silk Study Tour to Japan in 2023. Join her for an overview of Bombyx mori silkworm rearing, silk reeling, and weaving from ancient times to the present.
