Customer Comment

"Hello Cheryl!
Thank you so much for your absolutely amazing silk and wonderful company. I trust no other company to purchase silk from. your fabrics are so wonderful and take natural plant dyes so well. the experience is truly magical and the transformation of the silk when using natural dyed color is stunning! Thank you!" - A. M.

This collection of certified truly Peace silk fabrics is the finest in the world today.  Woven only for one small innovator in India, with whom we partner, and assigned exclusively to Aurora Silk for world distribution. The breeder cocoons are collected from the family farms where silkworms of the special "Bangalore" strain of Indian silkworms are raised.  As well, live cocoons are purchased and the moths allowed to emerge free. Processing of the silk is done in very small mills. Village scale weaving completes the creation, most of the fabrics are woven on foot-powered hand looms.

The silk for the patented Ahimsa fabrics is all cultivated, mulberry bombyx mori silk. It has been raised to organic standards on small family farms in rural India. Your use of these fabrics bestows merit to all the hardworking people who have brought it to you. Aurora Silk is very proud to be the exclusive world distributor for these 100% Peaceful Process fabrics.

All the above Ahimsa (patented) silk fabrics are: From India. Certified Organically raised, cruelty free, vegetarian friendly; your purchase supports small family farm raising of Organically grown silk, and village level weaving.

To learn more about Peace Silk, consider purchasing the highly educational "Peace Silk Collection", which Cheryl designed especially for Children's Science Fair projects. It also makes an excellent Textile Guild conference display, or educational program.
