Thanks to Tammachat Natural Textiles we are proud to offer fair trade silk squares to Western Canada. The women who operate Tammachat travel to Thailand and bring back a selection of textiles that have been purchased at a fair price.

These silk squares are created from hand-reeled silk, naturally dyed with local plants and handwoven by the Panmai Group, a village women's weaving group helping to reduce proverty in Northeast Thailiand. They reflect cultural traditions passed on from mothers to daughters. The artisans set the price for the squares and are encouraged to continue creating these articles to promote community development and environmental sustainabilty.

The silkworms are raised without chemicals in artisans' homes.  The cocoons are then painstakingly handreeled into beautiful yarns that are incorporated into these squares.  Before weaving the silk yarns are hand-dyed with organic materials that are raised locally or sustainably gathered.

Each package contains 5 squares, each approximately 20 X 20 cm (8 X 8 inches).

Price:  $ 14.00
