Handwoven shawl made of Peace Silk / Eri Silk Green

This soft and luxurious cloth is made of Eri silk. Besides Tussah silk, Eri silk from the northeastern state of Assam in India is also a peace silk. The Eri caterpillars are at home in Assam. The word Eri comes from “era” which means “castor oil” in Assamese. Because the caterpillars feed exclusively on the castor bean plant. In contrast to conventional silk processing, the caterpillars that spin the silk cocoons continue their life after metamorphosis as moths. This silk is in no way inferior to mulberry silk and convinces with its cuddly feel, the smooth matt shiny surface and the animal-friendly and fair processing. The design of the scarf is reminiscent of green mountains, blue rivers and golden yellow earth. A black border frames the picture of nature. The geometric elements were created using the block printing technique, in which carved blocks of wood are used to transfer the desired pattern to the textile surface. It is one of the traditional printing techniques in India. The yarn was spun by hand and processed into a scarf on hand looms. The weave is fine and noble. Traditional manufacturing methods are combined with a modern graphic design. This symbiosis makes this cloth a real work of art. Silk is also a very tear-resistant fiber that is durable. Not only does it give the scarf its matte sheen, but it also has the great property of temperature regulation, so the scarf can be worn in both summer and winter. Whether for a special occasion or in everyday life - this scarf is a real eye-catcher.
