We at MYSTCIAL SIX YARDS, ARE AUTHORIZED USERS OF SILK MARK ORGANIZATION OF INDIA (SMOI). Our silk saree and silk dhothi’s are weaved from pure mulberry silk. Mulberry silk is made from the cocoon of the Bombyx mori moth. Before metamorphosis, the caterpillar feeds exclusively on the mulberry leaf—this is one of the reasons why this silk is known for its quality. The silk fabric is then spun from long fibers, which are strong, pure white, and collected from the moth’s cocoon. These individual strands of fiber are then converted to 2 ply yarns and separated for warp and weft, then woven together to create the silk fabric. Mulberry silk is a natural fiber. It contains sericin, a protein produced by the silkworm. During the silk processing, the water-soluble protein sericin is removed. The protein retained in the silk is called fibroin, which is rich in 18 amino acids, that makes it hypoallergenic, resistant to dust mites, and non-irritating to skin. Mulberry silk fabric also has a unique structure that allows it to wick moisture and regulate body temperature

Uniformity – Since Bombyx mori moths only feed on white mulberry leaves, the strands produced are longer and more refined. Other silk is made from shorter fibers that can create abnormalities in the material.
Color – Mulberry silk is always pure white with no exceptions, making it a great complement to luxurious weaves
Texture – Other types of silk tend to be rougher to the touch, whereas mulberry silk is buttery soft.
Price – Because of its premium status, mulberry silk tends to run more expensive than more generic types of silk.
Scent – An amazing characteristic that sets mulberry silk apart from the crowd is the fact that it has no scent.
Hypoallergenic and antibacterial – Ideal for people with allergies, mulberry silk is hypoallergenic and a fantastic choice for those with sensitive skin or noses. This silk actually contains the natural protein sericin, which reduces the risk of an allergic reaction.
