What is "Peace" silk? It is silk from cocoons where the caterpillar is allowed to maturally complete its life cycle, to transform into a winged silk moth, to emerge from the cocoons, find a mate, lay eggs for the next generation, and die happy.

Cheryl Kolander, who IS Aurora Silk, has been actively promoting the idea of Peace silk since 1985, begining with an article in the magazine "FiberArts", continuing with her own raising of Peace silk cocoons, and now finally able to offer an entire collection of various Peace silks.

This Eri silk fabric is a true peace silk fabric, in a fine weave at an affordable price! Spun and woven from wild Eri silk cocoons, after the moth has naturally emerged. Smooth, soft, and durable. Great for all types of clothing and bedding.
