Silk weaver
The silk weaver (formerly: silk weaver ) is a weaver who specializes in processing silk and half silk .
Weaving silk, and especially silk brocade, demands a high degree of perfection, constancy and feeling for the material from the weaver. Silk threads tear very easily when weaving. Knots of torn threads are very difficult or even impossible to hide in the smooth and very fine silk fabric and reduce their value considerably.
