Beautifully all over patterned Jacquard handloom product from our looms in Assam , India.
It has natural coloured Eri Silk as the warp and weft and the filling yarns are all in natural dyed Eri silk .
Eri silk is procured from the caterpillar Samia Cynthia Ricini and is found in the north eastern state of Assam and nearby region.
Eri Silk inherently does not have any bright sheen as it is always spun silk . It always has a very subtle sheen . It looks and drapes like cotton but has all the inherent silk properties.
These shawls have gone through the process of calendaring to smoothen the texture .
Eri Silk is easier to take care of than other more delicate silks like Mulberry Silks. If properly taken care of and stored in cool and dry place , It will last a lifetime.
The production of Eri Silk yarns are still majorly an indigenous activity of the tribal people of the region and the dyeing / weaving activities are mostly village activities that employs a large no of women from the villages.
Eri Silk also has anti fungal properties , hence ideal for anyone who has skin allergies.
Please note that there could be slight imperfections as these are handloom products.
The shawl is soft and has a beautiful drape .
Suitable only for mild winters or indoor settings in heavy winter regions.
