Tussah Wild Silks

"Baby Blanket" Heavy Tussah

Fabric - Natural

Click to Enlarge

Tussah fabric is extremely durable. Though usually not as soft as cultivated silk, this tussah has been bleached to a light cream, which softens the fibre. The warp is spun from combed fibres, about 2" long, and the weft is continuous filament.
