Silk threads back a long way

Gareth Davies writes from Waterloo in Belgium in response to the article inspired by ICIPE on 'Silk route now through Africa' in Spore 92. 'The manufacture of local silk and its use in garment making in Africa does predate ICIPE. There used to be a West African tradition of fancy embroidery based in natural silk extracted from spider webs of different varieties.'
