- Tussar silk?
- Tussar silk is produced from larvae of several species of silkworms belonging to the moth genus Antheraea.In order to kill the silkworms, the cocoons are dried in the sun. A variation of the process exists in which the silkworms are allowed to leave before the cocoons are soaked in boiling water to soften the silk and then reeled. Single-shelled, oval-shaped cocoons are collected and then boiled to extract the silk yarn.Boiling is a very important part in the manufacturing of silk, as it softens the cocoon and makes the extraction of silk easier.
- India is the second largest producer of tussar silk and the exclusive producer of Indian tussar (also known as tropical tussar), which is largely tended to by tribals. Much of it is produced in Bhagalpur (where it is called Bhagalpur silk), Bihar and Malda district of West Bengal. Tussar silk is also used for Orissa's pattachitras and West Bengal's kantha stitches. Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh also produce tussar silk.In recent years, the state of Jharkhand has emerged as the biggest producer of tussar silk.
