Natural Spun Peace Silk Fabric (Offset Warehouse)

Available at: https://www.offsetwarehouse.com/

Durable, soft and lightweight, this spun silk fabric has a luxurious lustre. With a medium drape, it holds its form well offering application for clothing and homewares. It has been woven using a two-ply yarn, giving the fabric its soft properties and smooth handle, and also has a consistent weave from the longer 2" staple fibres (not a regular occurence for peace silk!) Specifically, we love this relatively weighty silk cloth for blouses and shirts, underwear and sleepwear, bridalwear and pillowcases. It also makes a lovely base for embroidery.

Produced on small family farms, the silk is cultivated using techniques consistent with Organic Cultivation Standards. 100% natural, it means that no additives, bleaches or finishes have been used - better for people and planet. For the silkworms, organic standards mean that they are fed mulberry leaves that have been organically cultivated (which also classes this silk as mulberry silk). When it comes to trademarked ahimsa™ peace silk, the Bombyx Mori moth has been allowed to complete it's full transformation, emerging from the cocoon alive and able to continue with mating. Additionally, the eggs are raised every year from one strain, assisting in the conservation of the species.
