Description
Artisan Story: The silk woven by weavers is known as ahimsa or peace silk. Silk worm cocoons are collected only after the moths have emerged, unlike in the production of most commercial silks. This results in a greater degree of fiber purity, emphasizing the natural luster of the silk. Each step of creating this product is carried out locally, from nurturing silk worms to knotting the last silk thread on a finished piece. Silk cloth is woven on frame looms. These looms are crafted using bamboo and other locally available materials. The natural tones and textures of the silk fibers are highlighted by the different weaves the artisans incorporate in their work.
