12th wedding anniversary: silk
Silk is delicate to the touch but surprisingly strong. Linen gets softer with every wash. After twelve years, a marriage brings these two qualities together: a tenderness you no longer need to prove to anyone and an everyday sturdiness that only gets better with time.

How to spend the day
Visit Żyrardów, a town built around a linen factory. See the Linen Museum and walk through the nineteenth-century red brick factory settlement.
Tradition
For centuries silk traveled from China to Europe along trade routes that were named the Silk Road in the nineteenth century. A single thread from a silkworm cocoon can be several hundred meters long.
