Handwoven cloth made of Peace Silk / Tussah Silk Petrol

This unique shawl is made from Tussah silk. It is a kind of wild silk that is obtained as Faire Seide / Peace Silk. In contrast to conventional silk processing, the caterpillars that spin the silk cocoons continue their life after metamorphosis as moths. The Tussah silk has a special "grainy" surface. The fabric feels crisp and gets softer with wear. The natural golden shimmer of Tussah silk can be seen in the undyed areas. The petrol-colored cloth has a subtle pattern in a darker blue that looks like it was painted on with watercolor paints. At the edges, the graphic pattern continues as a border. It was created using the block printing technique, in which carved blocks of wood are used to transfer the desired design onto 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. This combines traditional manufacturing methods 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.
