A hundred percent Eri silk Dupatta / wrap from our looms in Assam , India
The Dupatta / wrap has eri silk yarns in the warp and weft and all interwoven motifs in tassar silk and eri silk . The yarns have been natural dyed . The green colour is from onion peels and the red from manjistha .
Since Eri Silk is there, the wrap / dupatta does not have the typical sheen that is associated with Silks from India. Both Muga Silk and Eri Silk are indigenous Silk varieties from India found in Assam and some other North Eastern States. Eri Silk is the original Assam Silk. The lack of sheen and slight coarseness/ dryness is typical of Eri Silks.
The Eri silk yarns used here are mill spun very fine yarns . Hence , it is very soft and has a soft lustrous sheen . It has a very graceful fall.
Eri Silk is easier to take care of than other more delicate silks like Mulberry Silks. The production of Eri Silk is still majorly an indigenous activity of the tribal people of the region.
