Filiera della Seta "made in Zagarolo"

The "Silk Production Chain" project is developed in every stage: mulberry plantation, breending of silkworms, silk thread production, Italian hand craft making of items made of silk using the bobbing lace technique. The project includes search, construction, programming and developing prototypes of machineries needed to make silk thread. This process uses contemporary materials, automation systems and latest digital technologies: "swift" to pull silkworm’s drool, "twist machine" to give thread cohesion and strength, “reel machine” to roll thread and load it on coils and “bobbin machine” to prepare the spool by distributing the thread neatly.
