Tussah silk is wild silk that is typically gathered in the jungle from cocoons of wild silkmoths. Thus wild silk can be considered Organic, as almost all wild silk is wildcrafted.
This fibre is sturdier than cultivated silk, so this fabric holds up very well to wear and washing.
The fabric is woven with a closely spaced fine raw reeled Tussah warp. The weft is thicker, softly spun and pulled out of the cocoons, a traditional handspun yarn.

All village hand spun and village hand woven means there is a natural variegation to this fabric. This variegation in colour and weave is exactly what makes this fabric so exceptional!
