Predominantly dark orange with overall finely woven pattern with purple threads visible.
The complete process of making the silk is done within the village starting with the growing of the silk worms and processing of the cocoons into silk. The majority of the dyes used are purchased in the market; some natural dyes are still used. The silks are kept as personal property and stored folded in a white cotton wrap and are rarely shown or sold to anyone outside the village. They may be used as temple gifts, for redistribution, or they could be worn as a sarong (pha sin).
