Fabric - Handwoven Wild Silk - Tussar & Cotton - White Warp

$49.95

This handspun wild tussar silk is woven in a herringbone twill weave structure with a white cotton warp. Tussar is a wild silk from a moth that lives in oak and jamun forests in India and South Asia. It has a very different look from traditional bombyx mori silk. The leaves the caterpillar eats gives tussah its natural golden colour.  It is hearty with a dreamy golden lustre. The cloth has the tussar predominantly on one side and is anchored by the white cotton on the reverse. We love how this fabric drapes - ideal yardage for garments.
