Tussar Silk

About

Tussar silk, also known as Tussah or Kosa silk, is a type of silk fabric that is produced from the cocoon of the silk moth species Antheraea mylitta and some other closely related species. It is mainly cultivated in India, particularly in the states of Jharkhand, Bihar, and West Bengal, as well as in parts of Bangladesh.Tussar silk has a slightly rough texture with a natural dull gold sheen. The fibers are irregular and have a slubbed or nubby look, which adds to its unique charm. This irregularity in the fibers is a characteristic feature of Tussar silk and is highly appreciated for creating a distinct appeal in fabrics.
