Tussar Silk, also spelled as Tasar, is a type of wild silk known for its natural gold sheen, rich texture, and unique charm. Unlike the more lustrous mulberry silk, Tussar has a more earthy, raw, and organic feel, making it a favorite for those who appreciate natural elegance and traditional weaves. It is often referred to as “Kosa Silk” in Chhattisgarh, where it holds deep cultural and economic importance. Where Does It Come From? Tussar silk is primarily produced in the eastern and central parts of India, including: Chhattisgarh (Kosa Silk) Jharkhand Odisha West Bengal Maharashtra It is woven by tribal communities who have passed down their skills over generations, particularly the Santhal, Bhil, and Munda tribes. How is Tussar Silk Made? The making of Tussar Silk is a blend of nature, tradition, and craftsmanship: The Silk Moth (Antheraea mylitta) Unlike regular mulberry silk, Tussar is produced from wild silkworms that live in natural forests and feed on trees like Arjun, Sal, and Asan. These silkworms create cocoons with a copper-golden hue. Harvesting the Cocoons After the moths leave the cocoons, the empty shells are collected — a process that makes Tussar silk often non-violent (Ahimsa silk). In some cases, the silk is harvested before the moth exits, depending on the type of silk being produced. Reeling the Silk The cocoons are soaked in hot water to soften the filament, and then the silk is carefully reeled by hand or using traditional charkhas (spinning wheels). Tussar threads are shorter and coarser than mulberry silk, giving it a distinct texture. Dyeing and Weaving The silk is dyed using natural or AZO-free dyes, and then woven on handlooms by master weavers. The weaving often includes zari borders, motifs, or textured patterns unique to each region. ✨ What Makes Tussar Silk Special?
