Tussar Silk Sarees Online:
The
Tussar Silk Saree is a fine fabric, comfortable and light on the body, suited
to appeal and aimed to please.
Tussar
Silk Sarees, also known as ‘Kosa’ Silk Sarees, are made from silk obtained
from several species of caterpillars, of the moth genus Antheraea. It is known
as ‘wild silk’, a name given because the silkworms breed on trees unlike
mulberry such as Sal and Arjun found in the forests of Jharkhand. The raw silk has
a deep golden colour and is of good texture.
Tussar Silk
staples are shorter and less expensive in comparison to that of cultivated silk
because of the resulting quality of the produce from these silkworms in
comparison to that from cultivated types.The cocoons are generally boiled to make the
cocoon soft for easy extraction of silk, thereby killing the larvae within the
shells. However some weavers prefer to allow the silkworms to leave the cocoon before
boiling.
This takes
ten to fifteen days after they have fed on the leaves, and is popularly known
as Ahimsa or non-violent silk.Tussar Silk
is mainly found in India, in the states of Jharkhand, Chattisgarh, and
Bhagalpur in Bihar, which is also famous as a commercial centre for the production
of Tussar Silk. Eastern parts of India like Orissa and West Bengal and a small
portion of Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh also contribute to Tussar Silk
production in India.
Tribals in
Jharkhand, for whom sericulture accounts as a major source of livelihood, and
weavers of Bhagalpur, are skilled weavers of hand-woven Tussar Silk Sarees. Hand spun and coloured with vegetable dyes,
the fabrics they produce are eco-friendly.The use of leftover silk from woven fabrics, are
also used to create designs on the main fabric and is a by-product of the need
for variation in the weaves.
