Tussah Silk Fiber – Natural Spinning and Blending Fiber

Tussah silk is a luxurious natural fiber with a soft, natural beige color, produced by silkworms fed on oak leaves. Unlike cultivated white silks, Tussah silk has a more organic character and is known for its exceptionally long fibers, strength, and refined natural luster.

Highly valued by spinners and textile artists, Tussah silk is easy to spin, thanks to its long staple length, and produces strong, smooth yarns with beautiful drape. It is naturally resistant to pilling, dyes exceptionally well, and blends beautifully with other fibers such as wool, linen, and plant fibers, adding shine, strength, and elegance to any textile project.

Silk is luxury in its purest form — both visually striking and technically versatile.
