Hello this is Peter Beckenham from Thai Silk Magic.
In this video you will see how Dao creates the wonderful scarf fringes
that have become so popular with our Thai Silk Magic customers.
Many of you have asked how we create these fringes so now you will be able to see for
yourself.
Like all our processes it is hand made and very time consuming.
As you can see Dao selects 15 to 20 threads then rolls them on her
thigh just as her grandma did so many years ago.
Each bunch of threads is rolled separately and tied off at the end.
Then 2 lots of the rolled threads are combined and tied together.
It takes about 20 minutes per scarf and you know very few of our skilled weavers
have mastered the simple skill of creating the
silk scarf fringes.
They're great weavers but this seems to be too difficult.
There you can see the finished look and we are proud to continue
these traditional methods as an integral prt of our totally
natural silk creations.
