The Vu Thu area of Thai Binh province has long been famous for many traditional craft villages, including Hong Ly silk weaving village, a place associated with the once famous silkworm breeding and silk weaving profession. Hong Ly is one of the rare craft villages that still preserves the quintessence of traditional silk weaving and despite the vicissitudes of the times, there are still people here who day and night preserve and develop the traditional profession that has been passed down from their ancestors for generations.
During the golden age of silkworm breeding and weaving, Hong Ly and Hong Xuan communes had hundreds of hectares of mulberry fields, attracting thousands of households from the two cooperatives Hong Xuan and Tam Tinh to participate in production. Along with mulberry and silkworm breeding, every 2-3 households often formed a silkworm breeding group, spinning silk after producing cocoons, so the craft village was always bustling, the mulberry fields were always green and the charcoal stoves for silkworm breeding were always red hot.
Reeling silk has many stages and is very hard work. When the silkworms are making cocoons, the breeder must watch for gentle sunlight so that the cocoons are dry and fragrant, so that when reeling the silk the cocoons do not dissolve, producing golden silk threads. As a result, the woven silk threads are all golden, hard and strong.
Join author Le Ngoc Huy through the photo series of Hong Ly Silk Reproduction Village, experience and admire the golden silk threads under the golden sunlight like pouring honey, and see with your own eyes the process of cocoon incubation to get silk. This is an unforgettable experience for anyone coming to Hong Ly craft village in Thai Binh.
