The making of Tussar silks


Tussar silks are made from silk obtained from several species of caterpillars, of the moth genus Antheraea. Known as ‘wild silk’, a name given because the silkworms breed on trees like Sal and Arjun found in the forests of Jharkhand. Also known as ‘Kosa’ Silk, the raw silk has a deep golden colour and is of good texture. Hand spun and coloured with vegetable or eco-friendly synthetic dyes, the Tussar sarees they produce are good for the skin. The woven Tussar Silk Saree has a lovely texture, is light on the body, airy and has a comfortable feel about it. Hand-woven Tussar Silk Saris are well known for their zari borders, motifs and the hand crafted designs that enrich them.
