HAND WOVEN SILK

A medium handwoven plain fabric crafted from 100% Balkal Silk. This unique silk variant is produced from the peduncle (stem) of the cocoon, collected after the butterflies emerge. Following a zero-waste philosophy, the peduncles of Tussah silk cocoons are boiled in an alkaline solution and opened up. This technique results in beautiful natural dark brown yarn, expertly woven into a highly versatile, breathable fabric. Perfect for shirting, dresses, accessories, and ready-to-wear, this plain handwoven fabric from India boasts a beautiful texture due to variations in yarn thickness.
