Collection: Peace Silk ("Non-Violence") Fabric

Peace silk — also called ahimsa silk — is silk made the way the moth's life allows it to be made. Conventional silk requires the moth to be killed inside its cocoon so the long unbroken filament can be reeled. Peace silk waits. The moth completes its lifecycle, emerges naturally, and the cocoon is then spun into yarn from the broken fragments left behind.

The result is a softer, slightly less lustrous silk with a different drape and a different ethic behind it. Myyra sources peace silk for clients who want the silk hand without the violence. Rare, expensive, worth it. Wholesale and retail. Ships worldwide from India.
