Experience the unparalleled luxury of BC Garn Jaipur Peace Silk, sustainably sourced from an Eri silk worm farm nestled in the serene Northeast of Thailand. This exceptional yarn is the epitome of cruelty-free craftsmanship, showcasing the meticulous art of cocoon harvesting.Unlike conventional silk, the silk worm is not harmed by the harvesting of Eri silk. Eri silk has a subtle shimmer, foregoing the excessive sheen of mulberry silk. Its unique texture presents a slightly drier appearance, akin to bourette silk, resulting in a distinctive tactile sensation. While this exquisite yarn lacks elasticity, it may naturally stretch after washing. Be sure to wash and block any swatches to account for silk's natural tendency to grow after washing.The Eri silk's unparalleled dye-absorption capabilities ensure vibrant, enduring colors. These colors are stunning! Be mindful of potential color bleeding with darker shades—pre-rinse in vinegar water to guarantee clarity when blending with lighter hues or wearing against white fabrics. Always test for colorfastness when working two colors together.
