Ahimsa silk or Peace Silk (ahiṃsā: Sanskrit for ‘nonviolence’) is a method of nonviolent silk breeding and harvesting. Wild silk moths are bred, rather than the domestic variety. It allows the completion of the metamorphosis of the silkworm to its moth stage, whereas most silk harvesting requires the silkworms to be killed in their cocoon stage. No animals suffer or die for the silk to be produced, making it a favorable alternative to normal silk for those who object to harming animals.
This absolutely exquisite fabric is the softest feel you will ever have!
I used this to line one of my Pineapple & Silk gowns as the flow is phenomenally soft.
Exceptionally pricey, but worthy for the unique feel against your skin.
