The “peaceful” silk

Natural wild silk called Eri, from Erinda the hindi name for ricin which feeds the moth. The cocoon is naturally
spinned open-ended by the silkworm to ease the metamorphosis. The silk can then be collected peacefully,
without killing the chrysalis, which makes it used by numerous buddhist monks.

The highly qualitative handcraft production combines the works of tribal silkworm rearers, women yarn makers
and handloom weavers in far north-eastern of India. The Eri silk finesse together with the handcraft weaving techniques enable various types of scarves from the finest to the thickest.
