55-200 cm shawl with fringes Bulkul cruelty-free tussar warp & weft. Unbleached spun silk. Handspun & handwoven. Care instructions: handwash with gentle detergent. Ahimsa, cruelty-free peace silk. Handspun & handwoven Tussar warp & weft. Moths are allowed to leave the cocoon & the silk is then spun, not reeled from the empty cocoons. Bulkul silk is spun from the peduncles of the Tussar silk moth cocoon that feeds on oak leaves, which is what gives this silk its' dark toffee hue. These scarves have a thick, rich texture with variegated tones of brown. Not one scarf is the same. I don't think they need any dye or printing they are beautiful just the way they are. Dyed with indigo these cruelty-free scarves become a deep teal-green color, dyed with madder a textured red. Our handspun & handwoven peace silk is produced by artisans in a workshop where all the production steps are performed in-house: from cleaning, to spinning, to weaving the silk. These scarves do not need scouring, we soak them overnight in bran water to remove starch & impurities.
