Tussah Silk
Tussah (or Tussar) silk is the principal type of wild silk. It often has a coarse, light brown colour. It is produced from cocoons of moths of the Saturniidae family, particularly the species Antheraea pernyi, a native of China. Not to be confused with tussah that is a plain weave fibre with a rib effect.
