Ahimsa Silk Satin Fabric, 150 GSM Peace Silk, 44" Wide Ivory

A refined Ahimsa silk satin fabric with a soft ivory-white tone, graceful drape, and gentle natural sheen. At approx. 150 GSM, this silk has a substantial yet fluid handfeel, making it suitable for elegant garments, scarves, blouses, dresses, linings, and slow-made luxury sewing projects. Ahimsa silk, also known as peace silk, is valued for its softer, more natural surface character compared to very polished silks. Small specks, slubs, and tonal irregularities may be visible, adding to the fabric’s organic beauty. How it’s made: This fabric is woven in a satin weave, which gives one side a smoother, softly lustrous face and the other side a more matte handfeel. The Ahimsa silk yarns create a breathable, elegant fabric with natural texture, gentle sheen, and a beautiful fall.
