Eri silk has a fluffy appearance which adds fascinating texture to your textile art.
Eri silk, derived from the Eri silkworm, has a fascinating twist – it naturally produces a beautiful coppery rust hue! This unique colour is a result of the silkworm's diet, making each cocoon a vibrant work of nature's art.
Our Eri Red Silk Cocoons are ethically sourced from domesticated Eri silkworms. This ensures a sustainable supply chain while upholding our commitment to cruelty-free practices.
