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 jackfruit bark and it has a rustic texture as the yarn is a thicker one. 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. The pillow case closes with an envelope closure at the back.

Please note: This product is entirely made by hand. Therefore, irregularities in thickness of yarn are characteristic to the craft of handspinning. The fabric and the dye will change over time - the silk is becoming softer and the dyes lighter. Please cold wash only with mild detergent and dry in the shade. Do not soak.
