Madagascar is home to an endemic species of silkworm, which feeds on tapia trees in the wild and whose cocoons are threaded and woven like 'conventional' silk. The fascinating production process of this 'wild silk' is laid out in this workshop. You can buy beautiful scarves (Ar50,000 to Ar70,000) in the adjoining shop.
