Vegan

I've been looking for densely weaved bed sheets and pillow cases and such, and well, the search term you generally want for that is "satin". Tons of products use a satin weave out of cotton.

Problem is, satin fabric was traditionally made with silk, back in medieval China, so there's the possibility that when a company writes down "satin", they implicitly mean "silk".

I have yet to actually see it in any shops, as presumably the price would be much higher, but it still means I have to double-check every time, which is really annoying...

I've been meaning to look into ahimsa silk to see if it's really all that, or just shifting the cruelty somewhere else. E.g. if they breed them and then they hatch and starve because the ecosystem can't support them that's hardly non violent/non exploitative.

Silk has some very desirable properties in clothing but as I thought everyone learned in highschool it's fucking horrific.

I remain ever hopeful someone will figure out how to make yeast whatever grow silk in a useable way.

Silk™️ brand soy milk isn't vegan??
