This Tussah Top is finer than what most Western Spinners have the privilege to handle. It is a pale golden color, much like that of a towhead infant. It is just magnificent and ultra soft.
Tussah silk is the product of the tussah worm of India and China, which feeds on oaks. It is now semi-cultivated, as groves of dwarf trees are provided for its feeding.

Tussah Silk has a beautiful natural shine and it is very durable. Tussah silk is produced by tussah silkworms and while it is usually a beautiful natural golden tone it can vary from pale cream to a dark rich brown. Tussah silk caterpillars eat oak leaves or other leaves rich in tannin and it is the tannin that gives the color to this silk.
