Therefore, we have avoided buying silk products as most of the silk is produced in a way where the silk moth is boiled alive in order to obtain the fibers of the cocoon. In fact, until we came to the North-East Indian state of Meghalaya, we thought ALL the silk in the world is made that way \u2013 but then we heard about Eri Silk, also known as \u201cpeace silk\u201d. We got the pleasure to get to know this material better by visiting the studio of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Muezart (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.muezart.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Muezart<\/strong><\/a>, a company that produces yarn and apparel out of Eri Silk in Shillong.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P1160799-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Naturally dyed Eri Silk yarn\" class=\"wp-image-3540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P1160799-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P1160799-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P1160799-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P1160799.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Naturally dyed Eri Silk yarn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fascinated by Eri Silk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as we heard about Eri Silk and that it\u2019s produced in Meghalaya, we got interested in knowing more about it (and perhaps buying some souvenirs made out of it\u2026). Therefore, we planned an over-night visit to a tiny village called Umden, which is known for silk cultivation. But as our time in India was soon coming to an end, we had to skip some of our plans, including our trip to the remote silk making village.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/2020\/05\/14\/shillong\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"While we were in the state\u2019s capital, Shillong (opens in a new tab)\">While we were in the state\u2019s capital, Shillong<\/a>, we googled if there was some place where we could find Eri Silk products. We didn\u2019t find any store in the city but we noticed that the \u201cheadquarters\u201d of Muezart, a company producing yarn and apparel out of Eri Silk, is located in Shillong. We contacted them to ask if they are selling some of their products somewhere in the city. As a response, they invited us to visit their studio, instead! This was such a nice opportunity for us, because in this way we could, after all, have a little peek into the process of Eri Silk making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meeting the folks at Muezart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P1160738-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The Muezart crew (and Johanna) in Shillong\" class=\"wp-image-3532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P1160738-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P1160738-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P1160738-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P1160738.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The Muezart crew (and Johanna) in Shillong<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When we arrived to Muezart\u2019s office in Shillong, we were warmly welcomed by their crew.

The yarn is made by hand and dyed with natural, plant-based ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By creating new markets and new uses for Eri Silk, Muezart creates new opportunities for the women living in remote villages, and help to revive and to keep alive the old tradition of Eri Silk making. Muezart\u2019s Eri Silk is not only produced in villages where the silk making has been a tradition for years and years, but they also teach silk making in villages that are new to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, we believe that even though Muezart is not a non-profit company, they are truly doing good work for local communities, in a sustainable way. And their products are gorgeous! We love it, how they have combined modern and traditional in their designs. For example, they use a lot of patterns inspired by the ones used traditionally in Meghalaya, but also come up with whole new innovations like their fun multi-use, reversible beanie-scarf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P1160791-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P1160791-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P1160791-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P1160791-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P1160791-1.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The \u201dbeanie-scarf\u201d and some shawls.

Johanna bought a beanie straight away, which had gotten its beautiful green color from tree bark. Seri thought he might order something in the future when we\u2019re home. We left the studio and went for a dinner.
