Sultans of Silk

What you can stumble across in the cobbled streets of historical Sultanahmet;


This is silk rug shop and this young fellow is sitting in the entrance spinning from natural organic silk (look at the gorgeous silk cocoons in the right corner!) which they then weave into rugs there and then. I must add, they must have surpassed stardom status because as we were gasping in awe and clicking away with our cameras and videos, he just carried on nonchalantly as if we weren't even there.
