Morning Coffee with Cassava Silk

Morning coffee with Cassava silkworm, yarn and wooven fabric.

Samia cynthia ( ailanthus silkmoth ) is a
saturniid moth, used to produce silk fabric but not as domesticated as the silkworm, Bombyx mori.
There is a subspecies, S. cynthia ricini in India and Thailand that feeds upon the leaves of castor bean, and is known for the production of eri silk, and is often referred to by the common name Eri silkmoth.

But, here in Kulon Progo Indonesia, we are breeding Samia cynthia fed with cassava leaf, we called Cassa Silk
