How is your floss cruelty free?Updated 3 years ago

Our silk is cruelty free! Once the eggs are hatched, the tiny silkworms are fed with water and tender plant leaves then taken outdoor to the food tree. The larvae start eating the tree leaves. As they grow in size, they moult four times bigger. Once they mature, they start spinning their cocoons. Rearers then collect the cocoons from the tree and hang them in a controlled temperature room for the pupae to emerge out of the cocoon, the silkworm metamorphoses into a silk moth. The moth is being kept alive and can break out of its cocoon unharmed. Silk is then extracted from the cocoons by unwinding or spinning the filaments, twisting them into threads.
