eri silk
Eri Silk ((アッサム語:এৰি ৰেচম)) comes from the worm ''Samia cynthia ricini'', found in North East of India and some parts of China and Japan. The name Eri is derived from the Assamese word ‘era’, which means castor as the silkworm feeds on castor plants. One of the common names, the 'Ailanthus Silk moth', refers to the host plant. Eri silk is also known as endi or errandi in India. The wooly white silk is often referred to as the Ahimsa silk or the fabric of peace as the process does not involve the killing of the silk worm. Moths leave the cocoon as soon as it is ready to be spun. The eri silk worm is the only completely domesticated silkworm other than ''Bombyx mori''.
==Process==
Eri caterpillars eat a number of plants, including kesseru. It is grown in the Indian states of Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and some small villages in other states. The heavy rainfall and humid atmosphere of the region suits the Eri culture. The spun threads are often more "cottony" than most ''Bombyx'' silks, although some Eri yarns can be very soft and shiny.
After 30–32 days, the silk worm crawls in search of a comfortable place among the leaves to spin its cocoon.
