Weaving Silk Road Silk in Margilan, Uzbekistan

Описание: MIR travelers to Uzbekistan (http://goo.gl/IL1Btq) may tour the lush Fergana Valley, visiting a silk workshop to observe the process of silk-making. Here visitors to the town of Margilan watch – and listen to – the “clickety-clack, clickety-clack” of an expert weaver at her loom, learning about the traditional "ikat" and "khanatlas" – or “king of silk’’ – patterns distinctive to Uzbek silk fabrics.
