Silk Production in Uzbekistan

✨ Silk Production in Uzbekistan: Khan-Atlas Royal Silk and other Natural Silk Fabrics.

💃 Silk clothes have always been popular in Uzbekistan. In the Emirate of Bukhara only people of the highest status could afford silk clothes. Silk was very expensive at that time because it was brought from China by caravans. Later the silk production technology was also developed in Central Asia. However, this did not make the material affordable, since a large number of silkworms were required to make just a small piece of fabric.
