From Yarns & Textiles to fashion apparel (1)
Yarns and textiles are the basis for most fashion clothes.
Sheep for wool

Carding machine. Unlocks and aligns lumps of fibers before being passed on to other processes to produce different yarns, be it wool, felt, etc.
When you mention silk, it denotes luxury. I love silk, love the feel of it, and also it is just pleasing to look at as a fabric or a garment. This fabric is used by a lot of top designers.
Silkworms eating mulberry leaves
Silk comes from moth caterpillars and also produced by different kind of insects. It is said that the best silk comes from a worm called mulberry.

Fabric & Print samples
As a believer in sustainable fashion, I made my own yarns for my new spring/summer 2011 collection, "Jungle Paradise". I used the traditional Indian technique by twisting these yarn into ropes.
