Tussar Silk, also known by its Sanskrit name Kosa silk, is produced from TusserÂ
silkworms (Antheraea mylitta and Antheraea proylei). Produced mainly in theÂ
Indian state, Jharkhand,Tussar Silk is a type of wild silk – it is obtained from silk worms that are notÂ
bred on mulberry trees but whose cocoons are collected from the local trees likeÂ
Sal, Arjun and Saja. It is less expensive than cultivated silk and not asÂ
durable (cultivated silk has longer fibres). Some Tussar silk today is made isÂ
called non-violent silk, or Ahimsa Silk, which is extracted from theÂ
cocoon after the silkworm larva has left it.
