Carpet Making in Cappadocia





This is one of the (many) carpet places we saw while in Turkey. It shows a little bit about how the silk is retrieved from the silkworm cocoons (it was pretty amazing to see!), and how the ladies both wove, and tied the carpets. The speed that they work at is pretty incredible.
