Now we are at the Shanghai Qi Cai Silk store. The store has large show rooms plus a demonstration area to educate the visitors about how silk is made. here we see the water baths in which silk cocoons are placed. Then a single thread on the cocoon is found and attached to the arm of the machine above. The machines unwind the thread automatically and roll it onto spools.
