silk mill
Fabric weaving facility
A silk mill is a factory where silk fibers are processed and woven into fabric.
These mills historically required specialized machinery for the delicate work of reeling, throwing, and weaving silk threads.
The term appears mainly in historical contexts, as industrial silk production has largely moved to Asia: The old silk mill has been converted into apartments.
