Description
This fabric is our lightest weight Ahimsa™ Peace silk. It is light, airy, and as luminescent as moonlight.
The warp and weft are both smooth spun Ahimsa™ Peace silk. Peace silk, also called vegetarian silk, is from cocoons which the moth has completed its transformation and emerges free and happy. For more information, read about Peace Silk on our Silk Worm Eggs page.
Staple is approximately 2″ and the yarns are two-ply for a soft, sparkly luster; drapey hand; and excellent durability.
