SILK DUPIONI SOLID FABRIC
Our SOLID SILK DUPIONI is made on HAND LOOMS at a rate of 4 yards per day! We use ORGANIC NEEM as a fertilizer and manufacture SUSTAINABLE Silk Dupioni. Hand reared silkworms, hand spun and woven in the traditional method for millenniums.
It was discovered that the NEEM TREE was the only living plant not devastated by the Sudanese Locust Plague, in 1957.
We use the seeds and organic compost made from the Neem Tree to fertilize the Mulberry trees that are used to hand rear the Bombyx Morii silk worms. Also by using mostly natural dyes, we create a SUSTAINABLE silk product. Our fabrics are woven in cottage industry and we directly support the families that weave our cloth.
It is hard to beat the QUALITY and we think we have one of the biggest selections of COLOR on line.
The SOLID DUPIONI page takes a while to open as there are 145 COLORS shown, ready for easy ordering swatches or yardage on the same page.
Our Silk Dupioni is made ONLY from double nested cocoon.

ORGANIC Sustainable DRAPES FROM PLUMRIDGE
We are now manufacturing SUSTAINABLE SILK FABRIC with USA grown ORGANIC COTTON LININGS.
145 handwoven SUSTAINABLE SILK colors combined with certified ORGANIC cotton sateen lining and Flannel interlining.
SUSTAINABLE SILK FABRIC
Our fabric is hand woven in India using individual family weavers that we are directly supporting.
Mulberry leaves that are fed to the silkworms, are organically fertilized with compost from Neem trees that are grown among the Mulberry trees.
Fabrics are made on hand made wooden looms – some of which are at least 100 years old.
No electrical energy is used in the spinning, weaving or dyeing process, leaving a zero carbon foot print.
Painstaking weaving by hand – only 4 yards of silk is produced per day per loom.
CERTIFIED ORGANIC COTTON
We use only ORGANIC COTTON that is purchased directly from the mill. Our suppliers are Certified Organic Cotton Fabric Producers and a Members of the Organic Trade Association.
“Certified Organic” means the item has been grown according to strict uniform standards that are verified by independent state or private organizations.

Swirls of water in a mountain stream … Lichen growing on a desert rock …Pebbles rushing in the California surf.
These are some of the inspirations behind a new line of abstract designs printed on Scaff Silk Linen called Abarbanel Plumridge, designed by California artist Joshua Abarbanel for Plumridge Silks. Abarbanel traverses his home state studying, drawing, and photographing the subtle details of the California landscape. Now he is teaming with Plumridge Silks to interpret the beauty and diversity of California’s many geographies—from sandy beaches and rocky points to surprisingly lively deserts and majestic mountain regions—in a new print line on Scaff Silk Linen.
With fabulous luster and body—and treated with fire retardant in the yarn state— Scaff Silk Linen will rival silk dupione for its variety of commercial applications.
The first three series in the Plumridge Abarbanel line are Big Sur, Joshua Tree, and Tahoe. Plumridge Abarbanel will initially offer nine prints per season, three per series. Each print will have four to six color ways that coordinate perfectly with Plumridge’s solid silk linen, and will be printed to order on Scaff Silk Linen with no minimums, making it easy to bring the inspiration of California’s diverse landscape into homes and commercial properties across the country.For more information: 888-660-SILK or www.plumridge.com
