Hand Woven Brown Eri Silk Net Design Stole/Dupatta By Tribal Artisans of Assam

Eri silk is a staple fiber, unlike other silks, which are continuous filament. The texture of the fabric is coarse, fine, and dense. It is very strong, durable, and elastic. Eri silk is darker and heavier than other silks and blends well with wools and cotton. Due to its thermal properties it is warm in winter and cool in summer. In India, Eri was mostly used for the preparation of winter shawls for men and women. The thermal property of eri silk makes it a suitable fabric for shawls, jackets, blankets, and bed spreads. Dress materials and baby dresses are also made from Eri silk fabric because of its soft texture and moisture absorbent quality. Nowadays very fine (up to 210 Nm) Eri spun yarns are available, which enables weaving of very fine clothing, including traditional sari dress materials.

Eri silk is durable and strong and has a typical texture; hence, it is widely used in home furnishing like curtains, bed covers, cushion covers, wall hangings, quilts, etc. Its woolly feel adds to the comfort. Eri silk products are promoted as eco-friendly and natural, and provide jobs and money for the tribal peoples who practice Eri culture.
