Thanks! Interesting stuff!

I have a sister who spun some silk on a spinning wheel she got from New Zealand. She made it into a skein and gave it to me. I’ll never use it. I just like to look at it and think of all the work (and love) that went into it.

I love silk and have LOTS of washable silk. I haunt the thrift stores to find tops and skirts that are made of silk I can afford, now that I’m retired.

In C.B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments, Charlton Heston's character Moses, brings back silk and displays it to the royal court. I always thought that was out of time and place, but I guess he was right!..................
