Undyed Silk etc Fibres and yarns - Indian Red Eri Silk Tops 50g NEW | ||||
 |
Our Eri silk comes from Meghalaya, a state located in Northeast India, and is also known as Ahimsa or Peace silk. The cocoons are reared in village houses and the silkmoth is allowed to naturally emerge from the cocoon. Red Eri silk glows with a reddish-orange colour, because the silkworms are fed on a particular species of ficus leaves (ficus citrifolia). These cocoons are separated from the white and processed separately, producing the unique and very beautiful Red Eri silk.
