New method to produce silk without killing silkworms:
The new silk is named 'Karuna Silk', Odisha has adopted a new method where silk is extracted without killing silkworms for making traditional 'Pattu' sarees.
As per trade information, a typical mulberry silk saree is produced by killing 10-20 thousand silkworms. Similarly in the traditional process, 5-7 thousand silkworms lose their life in the making of a tasar silk saree.The idea of non-violence and desires that all production processes follow the same. So to promote compassion by breaking the traditional method of 'Filament Silk' which kills the silkworms. In the new process, the moth is let go of by honoring its life cycle. When the moth flies away from the cocoon it ruptures the fiber. Through the 'worsted spinning process' the process of developing the silk fiber ready for dyeing and weaving is done with dedication and passion, With 'Karuna Silk' blending tradition with technology along with fostering compassion, Odisha is setting a new benchmark in sustainable fashion.
