Tussah, or wild, silk worms live naturally in tropical or semi-tropical forests. Their silk is gathered after the moth emerges. The caterpillars eat all kinds of different trees, all rich in tannin, so the silk is beige to brownish toned.
This fibre is naturally golden, very long staple (3"+), strong, lustrous, and more resilient than cultivated "white" silks. It dyes beautifully, with colours slightly muted by the soft undertone of beige.
