Tussar Silk Sarees: A Story Woven in Elegance
Tussar Silk is a piece of tradition, a reflection of nature, and a timeless beauty draped in elegance. If you love sarees that are rich in history yet effortlessly stylish, Tussar Silk is one you must have in your collection. Known for its soft, golden sheen and slightly coarse texture, this silk has a raw, natural appeal that makes it stand apart from other silks.
Origins of Tussar Silk
Also called Kosa Silk, Tussar comes from the wild silkworms found in the forests of Eastern India. Unlike regular silk, it has a distinct texture that is both airy and strong, making it incredibly comfortable to wear. The best part? It gets softer and more graceful over time, making every wear better than the last.
The Art of Weaving Tussar Silk Sarees
The journey of a Tussar Silk saree is fascinating. It all begins with the collection of silkworm cocoons, which are carefully harvested and boiled to extract the fine silk fibres. These fibres are then spun into threads and woven into exquisite sarees by skilled artisans, many of whom have been practicing this craft for generations. The designs on Tussar sarees are just as captivating. From delicate Kantha embroidery that tells stories through stitches to tribal prints inspired by Warli and Gond art, each saree is a masterpiece. The zari borders, often influenced by temple architecture, add a regal touch, while contemporary block prints bring a modern flair.
Caring for Your Tussar Silk Saree
Taking care of a Tussar Silk saree is just as important as choosing the right one. Since it’s a delicate fabric, dry cleaning is the best way to maintain its beauty. Store it wrapped in a muslin cloth to keep it fresh and airy, and avoid direct sunlight to prevent the colours from fading. When ironing, always use low heat and place a cotton cloth over it to protect the silk. And if you want to keep pests away, natural remedies like neem leaves work wonders.
