100% cactus silk with cotton warp

45 x 73 inches

Cactus silk, also known as sabra silk, is a fine fiber harvested from the Saharan aloe vera cactus and used for weaving fabrics known for their metallic sheen and vibrant colors. It is vegan and cruelty-free silk.

Over time the dyes fade into a spectrum of their original hues and lend special character to vintage rugs. 

• This object comes from an Artisanal Association for Divorced Women in Fez, Morocco that benefits widows and divorcees and promotes traditional weaving practices.
