Silk yarn handspun using waste silk, these silk worms are found in wild forests eating the leaves off the trees. Tussar silk is produced using several different species of silk worm.
Muga silk is produced rom the muga silk worm, only found in the state of Assam in India. It is naturally organic and untouched by chemicals. These yarns are very rare due to the limited amounts of wild cocoons available and therefore produced in small amounts.
