Eri Silk

 

Eri is the most eco friendly and humane silk as it is produced without killing the pupa (Philosamia ricini). The pupa is allowed to become a moth and fly away before the cocoons are hand spun to produce yarn. For this reason it is also called “Peace” silk and “Ahimsa” silk. The Eri silk we use is produced and hand spun in Assam.
