Tussah silk is a type of silk produced from the cocoons of wild silkworms, primarily the Antheraea mylitta species. Unlike cultivated silk, Tussah silk is harvested from silkworms that feed on a variety of leaves, resulting in a coarser texture and a natural golden color. It is often used in clothing and home textiles due to its durability and unique appearance. This silk is less expensive than traditional mulberry silk, making it a popular choice for eco-conscious consumers. Tussah silk is also known for its breathability and ability to retain warmth, making it suitable for various climates and seasons.
