Eri Silk
Eri Silk is a type of silk produced by the Eri silkworm, primarily found in regions like India and parts of Southeast Asia. Unlike traditional silk, which is harvested from the Bombyx mori silkworm, Eri silk is known for its unique texture and durability. It is often used in clothing and home textiles, offering a soft, warm feel.
The production of Eri silk is considered more sustainable, as the silkworms are allowed to complete their life cycle and emerge as moths. This process not only supports biodiversity but also provides livelihoods for many local communities engaged in sericulture.
