Silk Worms In Wuxi Produce The Raw Material
This high standard work requires a great deal of attention to the embroiderers eyes, so their work periods are very short.
 There are many examples of their work on show in the adjacent shop; different sized screens and finished masterpieces on white silk, which are not framed so not much luggage space is taken up when you buy any of them.
Take a cruise down the Grand Canal to Wuxi town and you can see the raw silk being processed in another workshop, with specimen silk worms weaving their cocoons; silk being spun and woven, and examples of superb silk robes and modern style dresses.
