Thousands of bright yellow silkworm cocoons are dried in huge clay bowls in the village of Hong Ly, northern Vietnam in July 2022. Silk fibres are produced by silkworms when they spin themselves into a cocoon on their journey to becoming a silkmoth. The ultra-soft fibres are harvested from the cocoon in their raw state by being boiled in hot water. (Photo by Prabu Mohan/Solent News)
