Phan Thi Thuan extracts yarn from lotus stalks and turns the fiber into silk that is more expensive than regular varieties.
My Duc District’s Phung Xa Commune, about 40 km from Hanoi, has a tradition of breeding silkworms and weaving silk, but in recent years has become famous for Thuan’s lotus silk.
Every year her family extracts yarn from May, when the lotus season begins and the flowers’ stems are still tender enough to produce silk. The process lasts until September. Besides home-grown lotus, she also goes around the district looking for lotus.
