Description
Experience the unparalleled luxury of BC Garn Jaipur Peace Silk yarn, sustainably sourced from an Eri silk worm farm nestled in the serene Northeast of Thailand. Jaipur Peace Silk is the epitome of cruelty-free craftsmanship, showcasing the meticulous art of cocoon harvesting.Unlike conventional silk, the silk worm is not harmed in the harvesting of Eri silk. Eri silk has a subtle shimmer, and its unique texture presents is drier appearance, akin to bourette silk. While it 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 unparalleled dye-absorption capabilities ensure vibrant, enduring colors. 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.
