Description
| [Gentle natural colors] This natural-colored scarf makes use of the gentle natural color of silk itself. The weft yarn is made of elm silk, which is soft to the touch, has a rough, cotton-like feel, and has excellent heat retention* and moisture absorption properties. Just by quickly wrapping it around your body, this piece will brighten up your autumn/winter coordination, which tends to be subdued. It can be enjoyed by all genders and all ages, so it makes a great gift for your loved ones. [Match it to your mood.] You can wrap it around your neck in a compact way to add warmth. Or simply drape it over your shoulders. You can enjoy this scarf freely. It is an indispensable item for your daily life in autumn and winter. [Lightweight, moisture-absorbent elmsilk.] Eri silk refers to cocoons from wild silkworms called Eri silkworms. While silk generally has an image of being slippery and shiny, eli silk is soft and rough like cotton, and has many holes in its fibers, making it light and highly hygroscopic. Please enjoy the superb texture produced by the workings of nature. [The idea of ahimsa (nonviolence), which does not take away life.] The silk used for the weft is "Ahinsa silk" based on the Gandhian philosophy. Normally, in the silk production process, silkworms are boiled alive before they leave the nest, and the cocoons are removed from the cocoons, so the silkworms inside die. In contrast, ahimsa silk is made without taking away the lives of the silkworms, as the cocoons are carefully unraveled after they leave the nest and the threads are spun. *The warp yarn is not Ahinsa silk in order to maintain the strength of the product. [Stole-making that creates a path to tomorrow.] These stoles are made by a group called [Little Flower], a member of the fair trade NGO [MESH]. Located in Bihar, one of the poorest states in India, the community was originally formed by leprosy patients who were forced to leave their villages and drifted into the country. In India, where prejudice against people affected by leprosy and other disabilities remains strong and many are unable to find work, the group makes stalls to help the makers and their families lead self-reliant lives. Spinning, dyeing, winding, hand weaving... The makers create each silk stole by their own bodies and the power of nature, without relying on electricity. Please come and experience the beautiful world of handcraft. [Fair Trade] |
