This pillow case is hand-spun and hand-woven by our team in Assam and stitched in our studio in Ladakh. The yarn is dyed with madder and the small designs like flowers are made from undyed Eri silk. It depicts a flower garden. The silk is called eri silk and cultivated by Assamese tribal communities South West of Guwahati. It is a wild silk and the moth leaves a hole in the cocoon as it has to be empty before it can be processed. Therefore it has a structure which is rather similar to linen.
