Handloomed extra fine fringed Eri Silk scarf/wrap 70 x 200cm. Exquisite fine lustrous scarves which will  dye with Indigo, Procions or Landscapes.(Acid Dyes)  Eri Silk is also known as Peace Silk or Ahimsa because the silk worms are allowed to complete their life cycle and leave their cocoons as a moth. This silk is preferred by Buddhists and Vegans. Unlike Mulberry and Tussah silk  where the silk worm spins a continuos filament  the Eri cocoons are made up of short filaments which are cut and spun like cotton, however this delicate scarf is woven from silk yarn handspun straight from the cocoon by specialised weavers from the village of Maniabandha in Odisha.
