House of Hoi An Traditional Handicraft

Frommer's Review

This is basically a silk shop with an interesting gimmick: On the first floor you can see both a 17th-century silk loom and a working, machine-powered cotton one. On the second, you can see where silk comes from: There are trays of silkworms feeding, then a rack of worms incubating, and then a tub of hot water where the pupae's downy covering is rinsed off and then pulled, strand by strand, onto a large skein. It's cool. They have the best selection of silks, both fine and raw, in many colors and weights good for clothing and for home interiors.
