Likewise there plenty of silk, as well that of silkworm as of the silk (herb) which is of the brightest yellow colour, and brighter than silk itself, of this make many stuffs of divers colours, and export them to all ports. The inhabitants both men and women, are wondrously adroit in all manufactures, such as of cotton cloth, and silks, and in ncedle work, such as embroideries, which are worked so skilfully, down to the smallest stitches, that nothing prettier is to be seen anywhere.
