This uniquely upcycled fabric is hand-loomed by a weaving cooperative in West Bengal, India. Utilizing waste milk protein, artisans transform it into casein fibers, which serve as the foundation for this innovative textile. Through a meticulous process of grinding, dissolving, purifying, and spinning, they create an exceptionally soft and smooth yarn that breathes new life into discarded materials. The result is not just a fabric; it's a testament to sustainability and creativity, embodied in each milk yarn scarf produced.
