From Cocoon to Cloth New Orleans silk farm makes colored silk
New Orleans hosts the largest silk farm in the United States where grafted mulberry osage orange trees feed super silkworms. Worms yield silk in eighteen colors, without dyes, via leaves and feeding, under the oversight of Dr. Osigian and trade commissioner Daniel Waters.
