It is a sustainable \u0026amp; ethical approach to silk production which does not involve harming or killing the silk worm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the moths have hatched the cocoon, the cocoons are collected by silk farmers, then spun \u0026amp; woven by hand. A cottage industry, the production of peace silk supports a wide \u0026amp; varied eco-system of women \u0026amp; men farmers, spinners, weavers, printers \u0026amp; dyers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSilk spun \u0026amp; woven in this way retains properties lost during conventional methods of silk production. As a spun silk, peace silk is less lustrous than conventional silk, but is incredibly soft and has a rich, slubbed texture \u0026amp; an incredible drape. Because of the air pockets retained in the yarn, it retains warmth in winter \u0026amp; breathes in the heat so is comfortable to wear year round. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePeace silk can be woven from different kinds of silk, such as eri, mulberry or tussar; each of which has unique properties which determine the handfeel and drape of the woven cloth. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAny variations or irregularities are to be celebrated. They are part of the design \u0026amp; inherent to the handcrafted production process, making this item beautifully unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBy contrast, regular silk\u003c\/strong\u003e is produced from the long fibers of unbroken cocoons. The cocoons are preserved by killing thousands of silk worms - dropping them into boiling water, before they can metamorphose into moths. By preventing the moth chewing its way through the cocoon to escape, one long continuous thread can be produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaterial and Care\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaterial: 100% silk - mulberry peace silk\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHandfeel: Soft \u0026amp; very slightly slubbed with an incredible drape\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin: Assam, India\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCare: I strongly recommend spot cleaning this shawl if possible.
