Nepalese Silk
Silk production in Nepal has Twenty Eight Year old history. Its production scale is continuously growing since then. And hence helped to uplift economic status of farmers who are rearing Silk worm to produce silk Co-coons from which fine silk thread is taken. So produced Silk is either knitted to different products like shawls, scarves, and dresses of various designs or weaved to different types of fabrics which can be tailored as per your requirement. Which can be available at Himalayan Asia.
Silk Production Process:
Mulberry Orchard is planted. After two years mulberry Orchard is ready for Silk Worm rearing. Silk Worm egg are available in Sericulture Development Section. The Silk Worm are technically reared in rearing house by feeding Mulberry leaves.
Then Silk Worm Co-coons are produced for commercial purpose. Thus produced Co-coons are used for making raw Silk or Spawn Silk (by Nepal Resam Charkha) or local reeling machine. Spawn Silk is then used for making varieties of clothes by knitting or weaving.
