Yes, you have several options to see silk production in Fergana Valley, one of its unique signature experiences. Yodgorlik Silk Factory in Margilan offers comprehensive tours showing silkworm cultivation, cocoon boiling, thread spinning, natural dyeing, and ikat pattern creation on traditional looms. Tours run throughout the day and it is possible to do most days without advance booking, but sometimes foreign language tours need to be booked in advance.

The Margilan Crafts Development Center also can offer a tour and master class, but this needs to be booked in advance. Gold Silk is Margilan’s biggest production and retail center for ikat fabrics, carpets and other handicrafts, and it is possible to book a tour to see the weaving and production areas upstairs from the shop.
