Tasar silk is a type of silk produced from the cocoons of wild silkworms, primarily from the species Antheraea mylitta. Unlike cultivated silk, Tasar silk is harvested from silkworms that feed on various trees, giving it a unique texture and natural sheen. It is known for its durability and is often used in traditional garments and textiles. This silk is predominantly produced in regions of India, particularly in states like Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha. Tasar silk is appreciated for its rich, earthy colors and is often handwoven into beautiful fabrics, making it a popular choice for artisans and designers.
