The heart of IKTT today is the weaving village known as “ Project Wisdom from the Forest“ (PWF), located 30 km north of Siem Reap. PWF is more than a weaving village. It is a place of beauty, of humanity, and of new beginnings, where the people have been producing textiles of the finest quality for many years. At the village, the plants that are needed for dyeing are reforested, as well as those for raising the silkworms whose golden yellow cocoons later form the source material for the silk production. The villagers are continuing to weave beautiful textiles in the Khmer tradition, some of the most beautiful silk in the world, with the next generation of young weavers enriching it with new patterns and colours.
