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

This skein is dyed with cochineal. Cochineal is a rare and precious dye made from a scale insect. It is similar to other ancient natural dyes kermes and lac, and produces very similar colors. Our cochineal comes from Peru, where the cochineal is cultivated by traditional methods, outside, in the high Andes.

"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!
