This unique, luxurious silk is considered cruelty-free and compassionate as silk worms aren't harmed, unlike in conventional silk-making, in which cocoon extraction involves killing silk worms in boiling water. Empty cocoons are obtained after a patient wait for silk worms to metamorphose into moths. No modern machines are used in any of the production processes. The fabric is dipped in low-impact dyes to create this beautiful scarf. Wear it on a mild fall or spring day to enjoy its comforting warmth.

A Fair Trade product. Handmade by artisans in India.

How It's Made:

This special silk known as cruelty-free silk (also known as Ahimsa or non-violent silk) is the most humane of all silk production practices. The cocoon is harvested after the silkworms turn into moths and vacate them.scarf
