Ahimsa silk
Type of silk obtained without killing silkworms
Ahimsa silk
Ahimsa silk (ahiṃsā: Sanskrit for 'nonviolence'), also known as peace silk is a method of nonviolent silk breeding and harvesting. Wild silk moths are bred rather than the domestic variety. It allows the completion of the metamorphosis of the silkworm to its moth stage, whereas most silk harvesting requires the silkworms to be killed in their cocoon stage. Allegedly, no animals suffer or die for the silk to be produced, making it a favourable alternative to normal silk for those who object to harming animals.
