Have you ever wondered where silk comes from?
Rexie grows Bombyx Mori silkworms as one of her many hobbies & with the coming of spring, silkworms are on the way. She will be at the shop with her silky pets on the first & third Saturday each month for all to see & ask questions about. Stop in & watch em grow! Within one month they will be spinning cocoons of silk! At some date in the future Rexie will be demo-ing how the silk is turned into silk "hankies" that can be dyed & hand-spun or used in any number of craft projects. Stay tuned to da'blog for that date!
All she learned about raising the Caterpillar & rendering the silk can be found online at www.wormspit.com.
