INDIAN SILK RUG 93*155 KASHMIR TREE OF LIFE

The manufacturing of silk carpets spread from Iran to India in the 16th century, hindus continued to use persian patterns. India's most famous carpet manufacturing area is historically Kashmir. Therefore, the expression "Kashmir carpets" which is commonly used, stands for a wool or silk rug with oriental pattern. Since the separation of Pakistan and India there is a conflict about the territory of Kashmir, which does not benefit either tourism or carpet production. Expensive silk rugs are still handknotted in a small number of villages.

Why Mulberry Silk is Different from Other Kinds of Silk?

Mulberry silk is the highest quality silk available for purchase. The unique thing about Mulberry silk is how it is produced. Mulberry silk has its history in China, where local farmers grow Mulberry trees and harvest the leaves for silkworms to feed on. The resulting cocoons are spun into raw silk fibers. Because the silkworms of the Bombyx mori moth are fed only Mulberry leaves, the resulting silk is some of the finest available in the world. Pure white in color and made up of individual long fibers, Mulberry silk is more refined than other types of silk.
