The Yodgorlik pure silk factory in Margilan, a 2,000-year-old city on the Great Silk Road, in the Ferghana Valley of Uzbekistan not only keeps the "silk" in the "Silk Road", it gives great inspiration. Watch as the silk is carefully spun from the cocoons of the factory's own mulberry trees, and then washed and dyed, and brought together in exquisite fabrics for either clothing or personal items, or for silk carpets. People toil for months, or a year, to produce a silk rug of quality no longer thought possible, and yet the prices are, for all this labour, remarkably low. Margilan is a wonderful setting for this craftsmanship, and it reminds us that all progress in our machine age must continue to be inspired by the artistry and craftsmanship of such perfectionists as those who continue to ply their craft at the looms of Yodgorlik. What a contribution they make to the 21st Century by reminding us of the value of a devotion to excellence and beauty.
