There are four distinct varieties of silk, each derived from a different silkworm species and cultivated on small family farms in various environments across India. In this particular series, we have used the ahimsa mulberry silk, derived from Bombyx mori silkworms that exclusively consume mulberry leaves. These silkworms are cultivated indoors in cottages, allowing them to hatch and breed, thereby facilitating the production of ethical silk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditional silk production involves the killing of numerous moths at the pupae stage, a fact that remains largely unknown to consumers. In contrast, our non-violent silk production eliminates such practices while maintaining high-quality outputs. The silk undergoes harvesting only after allowing adult moths to emerge from their cocoons, utilising open-ended cocoons or those that have been pierced and previously used in breeding cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe silk yarns for weaving is produced using a traditional device known as the Takli, a slender spindle designed for spinning silk from softened cocoons. The mataka spinning technique, prevalent in West Bengal, is notable for its historical significance, with the term “mook” referring to the mouth and “kata” implying cut or pierced. Historically, mataka fabric has been favoured by Hindu and Jain royal families due to its ethical production methods. The term “ahimsa” is derived from Sanskrit, meaning non-violence, and emphasises the humane approach to silk extraction, which respects the life cycle of the pupae.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur dedication to creating ahimsa silk and working with artisans in the remote villages of West Bengal, often under challenging conditions, reflects our core values at Parvai.
