​PEACE SILK/AHIMSA
​
"Ahimsa," meaning "non-violence," is a part of Buddhist philosophy, stating that humans should refrain from inflicting suffering on others, including non-human and even non-animal life. 

To make one pound of the finest silk, 3000 silkworms must die.
However, this is an unnecessary process.  Silk can still be spun, rather than reeled, like other fibers if the moths are allowed to emerge.  “Peace silk’ or cruelty-free silk allows the silkworm to live out its full life cycle and emerge from their cocoons as moths.  
ZS Fabrics offers Tussar/Tussah silk, also known as "peace silk", is wonderful that the majority of the silkworms are not killed in the fabric's production. Instead of a domesticated silkworm that eats only mulberry leaves, the tussah/tussar moths are wild and larger (with a wingspan of up to 6"). They live on oak and juniper leaves, and the oak's tannin produces a light gold or tan colored silk. It is a stiff, firm fabric, does't drape or pleat.  It is easy to cut out, reversible, it will not stretch. Fabric will not tear, is subject to abrasion, resists wrinkles. Like other wild silks, tussah silk is difficult to dye, so it is natural in color (white-off, cream, tan, gold, gold brown). Tussah Eri Silk is strong and white fabric. Tussah Mounga Silk is gold wild silk and one of the best. 

Use to make jackets, suits, skirts and tailored garments. Dry clean only! Fabric may shrink.
