Bright Flowing Peace Silk Fabric (Offset Warehouse)

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

Beautiful, soft peace or "ahimsa" silk fabric, with a stunning drape and airiness. It has a soft creamy colour that glows in the light. With a dry and warm touch, unlike charmeuse satin for instance that is cooling, the feeling on the skin makes it ideal for blouses, tops, scarves and underwear. The weave is very unusual if you look up close, and is a durable satin weave, hence also the lustre. We also like this peace silk for luxe tablewear and drapes, and of course most explictly for bridalwear and couture trims.

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. When it comes to peace silk, the 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. This means that the fibre tends to be of a shorter length and so the woven textile may have some small irregularities where there is slub in the yarn.
