Dark Blue Ahimsa Embroidery Yarn | Indigo Dyed Yarn | Naturally Dyed Yarn Thread | 100% Silk Embroidery Thread | Spun Silk Yarn | Peace Silk

Item highlights

  • Materials: indigo vat dye, spun peace silk yarn

Seller's description

This spun silk embroidery yarn is soft and lustrous, and made from 100% Ahimsa peace silk.

The indigo dye was achieved through a Bran-Madder natural fermentation vat -- the traditional indigo fermentation method of Old Europe. The indigo was sourced from a women's collective in El Salvador. Only the darkest blue indigo combined with the natural fermentation vat can make such a deep, dark, almost black blue.

"Peace silk" is silk made from cocoons from which the moth has freely emerged, allowing it to complete its natural life cycle! It is also known as "vegetarian silk" or "vegan silk", because its production does not kill the silkworm.

The thread is made from bombyx mori cultivated silk, raised and spun on small family farms in southern India. Your purchase of this thread supports the traditional silk-raising practices of these villages!

WEIGHT : approx 0.4 oz (11 grams)
LENGTH : 110 yards (100 meters)
METRIC COUNT : 3/2/60
PLY TYPE : cable ply

This yarn is also available in natural unbleached, in both skeins and cones. Let me know if you are interested in this.
