What is Desi Tussar?

In India, mainly 4 varieties of silk are produced – Tussar, Eri, Mulberry, Muga. Out of these, Mulberry Silk is cultivated silk, whereas the rest 3 silks are Wild silks. This is an important distinction, this means yarn for the wild silks are obtained from indigenous silk worm species feeding on wild forest tree leaves. Tussar Silk yarn is extracted from silk worms that feed on wild forest trees and has a natural golden glow. Its weaving is centred mainly in Bihar, Jharkhand and Chattisgarh. Please note like all Tussar Silk, this is Wild Silk, handspun, thigh reeled and Handwoven. Desi Tussar is just a colloquial term used by weavers of Bhagalpur, Bihar to indicate towards the purest variety of woven Tussar Silk yardage. The same fabric and process will be called Kosa Silk if woven in Chattisgarh. The silk you are seeing here is therefore the purest variety of Handloom Tussar Silk. Desi Tussar term is just used here for colloquial purpose.
