Eri silk is a type of silk produced by the Eri silkworm, primarily found in regions like India and China. Unlike traditional silks, Eri silk is made from the cocoons of the silkworms that are allowed to mature and emerge as moths, making it a more sustainable option. The silk is known for its soft texture and natural, earthy colors. This silk is often used in clothing, home textiles, and accessories due to its durability and warmth. Eri silk is also valued for its hypoallergenic properties, making it suitable for sensitive skin. Its production supports local economies and traditional craftsmanship.
