Turkey Rugs

The last thing on our excursion was a rug tying exhibit.  They had two women who tied up to 200 knots per inch.  Actually, double tied each knot. 

 

They had a bucket full of silk cocoons.  Each cocoon has 1 mile of silk thread.  They spin several individual threads to give it more strength.  Very cool.
