Cocoon source
The village that raised the cocoons is written on each batch.
Batch line
Cocoons, reeling day and dye plant.
Village weavers in Luang Prabang and Xieng Khouang reel silk from cocoons they raise. We record each batch's cocoon source, its reeling date and its natural dye, so a buyer knows the thread's origin.
Reeling record
The reeling date and the reeler's group are kept on the batch line.
Dye batch
The natural dye and its plant source are recorded before dyeing.
