Silk
The silk is one of the most demandable materials in the handloom industry. With a lot of varieties in it, such as Mulberry, Muga, Tassar, Eri and Tabby, the love for silk reflects the demand for something that is royal in nature and soft in texture. This material is, generally, used to make saris, suits and kurtis. Since, this material has got a shimmery look; the entire piece of art adds grace to your overall personality.
In order to produce silk, silk worms are bread and rose in a controlled temperature. When they form cocoons around them by secreting protein, cocoons are collected and sold to factories. There, they are segregated as per the color and shape. After that, cocoons are passed through hot and cold immersions to make the filament soft. And finally, these filaments are combined to produce threads of raw silk.
