This fabric's warp and weft are both smooth spun Ahimsa™ Peace silk. "Peace" silk, also called vegetarian silk, is from cocoons from which the moth has completed its transformation and emerges free and happy. For more information, read Cheryl's "About Peace Silk" article.
Staple is approximately 2" and the yarns are two-ply for a soft, sparkly luster; drapey hand; and excellent durability.
The weave is called “Pebble” because of the pebbly surface texture. It is a softer fabric with excellent drape, along with the delightful surface texture. Fabric thickens (and shrinks) on washing, becomes like a very soft suede.

Cheryl Kolander visited the production site in India in November 2006, and we are happy to report that all aspects of the operation are clean, healthy and honorable - absolutely no child labour or slavery; cocoons are raised in small family farms without the use of pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics, genetic engineering or any other practice of disrepute. The AhimsaT label is patented to our partner-producer in India.
