Why Your "Silk" Might Be Killing Worms — And What Roses Have to Do With It
Let’s be real: we’ve all been seduced by the feel of silk. It’s soft, it’s luxurious, it screams expensive. But here’s the not-so-glamorous tea—your silky scarf might’ve come at the cost of boiling silkworms alive.
Yep. That floaty, glossy top you love? Tiny insects died for it. And let’s not even start on the pesticides, bleaching, and high-water usage behind traditional silk production.
So... what’s a fashion lover with a conscience supposed to wear?
You want to slay in trending fashion, wrap yourself in dreamy trending scarves, and still sleep at night knowing you didn’t destroy a planet or a worm’s life in the process.
We got you.

The Steps That Make It Possible
1. Collection & Preparation of Rose Petals
Fresh or dried rose petals are collected (often as by-products from the perfume or essential oil industry).
Petals are cleaned to remove dirt, pesticides, and unwanted plant matter.
2. Enzyme Treatment of Pulp & Dissolving the Cellulose
The petals are broken down into a cellulose-rich pulp using natural enzymes.
This helps remove non-cellulose components like pectin, wax, and lignin, leaving a pure cellulose base.
The extracted cellulose is dissolved in a safe, eco-friendly solvent (often similar to the lyocell process) to create a thick, viscous cellulose solution.
3. Wet Spinning of Cellulose Fiber
The cellulose solution is pushed through a spinneret (a device with tiny holes) into a coagulation bath.
The bath solidifies the cellulose into continuous fibers — much like how spaghetti is made from dough being pushed through holes.
4. Fiber Formation from Spinneret & Carding
The solidified rose cellulose fibers are collected, washed, and dried.
At this point, you have rose petal fiber — soft, silky, and biodegradable.
Fibers are combed to align them in the same direction and remove short fibers or tangles.
This produces a smooth, continuous fiber web.
5. Formation of Roving
The aligned fibers are drawn out and slightly twisted into roving (a loose rope of fibers) to prepare for spinning.
6. Ring Spinning of Yarn
Roving is spun into yarn using a ring spinning machine, giving it strength, uniformity, and the desired thickness.
7. Circular Knitting (or Weaving)
The yarn is knit or woven into fabric. In your process, circular knitting is used, producing a soft, stretchable fabric suitable for scarves, dresses, and other apparel.
8. Finishing
The knitted or woven rose petal fabric is washed, dyed (often using eco-friendly dyes), and finished to enhance softness, drape, and durability.
But how does it feel?
Think natural silk, but without the Guilt
Soft? Yes.
Luxury? Yes.
Why this matters
Let’s be honest. Fashion has a dark side. Fast fashion is trashing the planet. Traditional textiles are loaded with toxins, and "natural" doesn’t always mean kind. But rose petal fabric? It’s a reminder that we can look good and do good.
At House of Parvi, we’re rewriting the rules. We believe sustainable fashion should still be stunning. That’s why our latest collections (including our trending scarves) are crafted with rose fabric—because ethical is the new elegant.
