Thank-you for the link. I was going to look for something to post today. It is sad what we have done to the whole silk worm species. We totally exploit them.
I didn't know about the ethical peace silk. I hope it catches on. If we just reject silk then the species will die because no one would raise silk worms.
I didn't know they could recycle silk. I am glad they do. It would be sad for the worms to die for nothing.
Interesting that they encourage us to buy second hand silk. I see silk items in the second hand shops.
Somewhere I have a pattern that uses old silk ties to make a silk quilt. I have thought about it. There are always many silk ties at second hand shops. I have hesitated because I know how silk is harvested.
Silk worms would share their silk with us when they are finished with it, but we choose to steal it. It doesn't make us look too good.
How is your cocoon?
