Description
Tasar silk is also known as tussah silk, tussar silk, and silk shantung. Tasar silk is coarser and stronger than mulberry silk. It has a copper color. It’s not typically used in clothing, but it is popular in upholstery.
Tasar silk is made by the Antheraea mylitta silk worm. This type of silk is created by silk worms in the wild, and then the cocoons are harvested. Recent studies suggest that Tasar silk may be superior to mulberry silk in medical applications.
