Tussar Silk

Tussar silk, often revered as "wild silk" or "forest silk," is spun from the cocoons of the Antheraea mylitta silkworm. Unlike its domesticated counterpart, the Tussar silkworm thrives in the wild, feeding on a diverse array of trees and plants. This results in a fabric with a distinctive texture and a warm, golden glow, bestowing it with a rustic elegance.

Characteristics

  • Textured Elegance Tussar silk boasts a unique, slightly coarse texture, offering a rich, tactile experience that sets it apart from the smoother mulberry silk.
  • Golden Glow Its natural hues range from golden to beige, imparting a subtle radiance that enhances its inherent charm.
  • Traditional Appeal Valued for its earthy, organic aesthetic, Tussar silk is a cherished choice for traditional and ethnic garments, as well as artisanal home décor, adding a touch of timeless beauty to any setting.
