Dupioni Silk Fabric
Dupioni Silk Fabric

Can someody tell me whether Dupioni silk is made without causing any harm to silk worms?
My friensd wants to make fabric bags using Dupioni silk from India and wants to make sure that the process does not cause harm to silkm worm. Does anyone have alternate fabric ideas?
now i don't know about india, but in china, the worms die.
the process of taking the silk strand kills the worm.
keep in mind, at the point of collecting the silk, the worm is undergoing metamorphesis, and is no longer a worm, but is not yet a moth (or butterfly).
they must take the silk at this point.
any earlier in the life cycle, and the silk has not been spun.
any later, and the moth will have eaten it's way out, making the silk useless.
get over it, it's an insect.
i also note that there are quite a number of folks who answer nicely who obviously haven't a clue what's happening.

Being a variety of Silk, the luster is inherent. What makes this particular kind of Silk different from the rest is the use of threads of two different colors while weaving the fabric. This results in a dual shaded effect and hence appears to change colors every time the fabric is moved or swayed. Dupion Silk is also known as Dupioni Silk or Douppioni Silk. As other Silk fabrics or Silk Sarees reveal a smooth and soft texture, Dupion Silk has sort of rough and crisp texture. Initially, Dupion Silk was mainly used for jackets, draperies and upholstery but slowly it became a popular fabric for Indian Sherwanis mainly because of its stiff and crisp texture, and now it has carved a niche in the world of Sarees as well. The softer varieties of Dupion Silk make great Wedding Silk Sarees due to its luster, dual shaded nature and crisp texture. Dupion Silk is not particularly an expensive variety of silk and hence these Dupion Silk Sarees are generally low priced ones compared to other Wedding Silk Sarees.

Dupioni is made from an irregular, rough silk reeled from double cocoons or cocoons spun side-by-side which are interlocked, making it necessary to reel them together. Usually brightly colored, it has a moderately crisp drape, fairly reflective luster, and a nubby texture. It is crisp to the touch and doesn't wrinkle badly or hold a crease well. , not particularly stretchy, and relatively easy to sew. General Uses Dupioni is most often used for loose fitting blouses, jackets, suits, skirts, dresses, bridal gowns and draperies for home decoration. White dupioni often used for bridal gowns due to its lustrous sheen and relatively low cost. That is a good choice, as we often have matching beaded dupioni in the same shades, perfect for a contrasting bodice. Avoid tight fitting garments as seams may pull apart due to the weave. Sews relatively easily, but pins leave marks, so pin carefully. Fabric CareDupioni is marked 'Dry Clean Only' but it can be washed IF you wash it before you cut it out. Silk dupioni loses much of its stiffness when washed, and just a bit of its sheen, but it still looks great. It will shrink up to 12% - 5 inches (13 cm) per yard - when washed, but it is very difficult to wrinkle after that. And no dry cleaning bills! Pre-made or lined dupioni garments should most likely be dry cleaned. Click on the fabric care buttons to the left for more information on washing silks. Features
