Tussar Silk also called “Wild Silk” or “Kosa Silk” are extracted from the larvae of several species of silkworms like Antheraea Mylitta, Antheraca Proylei, Antheraea Pernyi, and Antheraca Yamamai silkworms that eat the leaves of Arjun, Sal, or Saja Trees. The moths of the mentioned species grow in wild jungles and the locals collect their cocoons. These single-shelled oval-shaped cocoons are then boiled for a few hours to make the cocoon softer. The silk threads are extracted by the women of the local areas through the process of 'Thigh Reeling' to date. They are arranged in a circular way, called “hanks” to avoid any knotting or mixing issues. A small portion of threads is taken from the hanks and rolled in Bobbin, further it is fitted in a Shuttle, a tool that carries the thread of the weft yarn while looming. The weaver’s family first prepares the loom and then the weaving process starts. It takes two to three days to weave a plain Kosa silk saree, further the unfinished sarees are washed, hung out and, sun-dried. The artists then dye them accordingly. Calendering, the final process, makes the saree glossy, thin, and smooth
