Why Tussah Silk?
Unlike cultivated mulberry silk, Tussah silk is harvested from wild silkworms that feed on oak and other forest leaves. The result is a fibre with a natural golden-beige hue, a slightly coarser texture, and a beautiful matte finish that holds dye beautifully or stands proud in its raw, undyed state. It is a sustainable, cruelty-considerate choice beloved by artisan makers worldwide.
Care Instructions
Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent
Do not wring or tumble dry
Lay flat to dry in shade
Store away from direct sunlight
Each skein is a product of natural fibres and may show slight variation in texture and shade — a hallmark of authentic wild silk.
