Eri Ahimsa Silk Yarn

The moth exits the cocoon before processing, making Eri a credible material for non-violent silk narratives. SUTAAS supplies lot records, processing declarations, and optional test reports so buyers can substantiate claims.

Eri. The silk that does not ask the moth to die.

Samia ricini · Castor silkworm · Spun not reeled · Ahimsa process

🏅 Ahimsa Certified · GI NE Region

Eri is the only silk produced without killing the silkworm — cocoons are open-ended and the moth exits naturally. This makes it the only silk that qualifies as ahimsa (non-violence). Its spun texture is cottony-soft, matte, and remarkably warm for its weight. Sourced from Bodo, Dimasa, and Naga community rearers across Assam, Meghalaya, and Nagaland.
