Maroon natural dyed handwoven Silk wrap / shawl / dupatta from our looms in Assam , India .
It has natural Manjistha Dyed Mulberry spun Silk as the warp and Eri Silk in the 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. The subtle sheen present is due to the mulberry spun silk .

The production of Eri Silk yarns is 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.
