A Tussar saree is a type of traditional Indian saree made from Tussar silk, also known as Kosa silk. This silk is derived from wild silkworms, primarily from the Antheraea species, which are native to India and other parts of Asia. Tussar silk is known for its rich texture, natural golden hue, and slightly coarse feel, which gives it a unique appearance compared to other silks like Mulberry silk.
Key Characteristics of Tussar Sarees:
- Texture: Tussar silk is slightly coarse and heavier than Mulberry silk. It has a rich, natural feel with a distinct roughness, giving the saree a beautiful, matte finish that adds depth to its appearance.
- Color: Tussar sarees typically come in earthy, natural tones, with shades of gold, beige, brown, and mustard. However, they can also be dyed in a variety of vibrant colors through different techniques.
