Organic Ahimsa Silk Fabric

Undyed, organic non-violent silk fabric. The fabric is a soft satin. Unlike conventional silk, the silk is spun into yarn after the moths are allowed to hatch naturally from the cocoon.

The fabric is 44 inches wide (112 cm wide). 

It's 3 ounces per sq. yard (83 gsm).

This is the fabric we use for all of our silk eye masks and scrunchies.

Sold per yard and an order of several yards will be cut as a single piece. Swatches available (4” x 4”).

Because the fabric is cut to size per purchase, it is not eligible for returns or exchanges.

Completely natural and undyed.

The silk is non-violent silk (also known as Ahimsa silk) in which the moths are allowed to hatch naturally from the cocoon, rather than being boiled alive as is standard for conventional silk. The silk is ethically sourced from small family farms in rural India.

The dyes and sewing thread used are GOTS certified organic. GOTS certification, in additional to its strict environmental standards, also certifies that every company involved in the production of the fabric provides fair wages and safe working conditions.

This elastic is from a company that practices fair trade throughout its supply chain.

Made with upcycled, organic non-violent silk and GOTS certified organic cotton sewing thread and plant dyes - the highest standard in organic. Every step - from the growing of the cotton, to final manufacture, is independently verified to be organic.

The elastic is 60% certified organic cotton and 40% natural rubber.

Also, the plants grown for natural dyes remove more carbon from the atmosphere during their growth than is released during the dyeing process, helping to reverse the cause of global climate change.

Wash by hand when needed with a mild, pH-neutral detergent. Shape and lay flat to dry.
