Tassar Silk - The Tassar Silk moth is basically a wild moth. Hence it is categorised as Vanya Silk or Wild silk by the silk board of India.(http://csb.gov.in/silk-sericulture/silk/vanya-silk/).
The yarn produces is a natural brownish or off white colour. Tassah silks in their natural colour can be termed as Organic Silk as no chemicals have been used in the cultivation of host trees or in the processing of silk fabrics.. Most Tassar rearing and cultivation is still done by village clusters in the tribal regions of Jharkhand ,Chattisgarh & West Bengal in the traditional method. In this case , the yarns have been dyed .
