This precious fiber is much like wild silk and linen yarn made from thousands of the finest fibers of the stems of lotus flowers. The craftsmanship behind this fabric, originally only entitled to Buddha, is made by the weavers in a small village in the middle of Inle Lake in the Shan Mountains.
Here the procedure is shown by Viet Nam Weaver and spinner, Phan Thu Thuan--
Garments made from this lovely fiber
You might ask--how much for this fiber? To me, it's priceless--so I'm sticking
to spinning the next best thing--silk! At least, it's easier to buy--no need
to wade hip deep in water to find!
