Kosa silk

Kosa silk, also known as Tamil wild silk, is a luxurious natural fiber produced by the Kosa silkworm (Antheraea mylitta), native to India. Unlike cultivated silks, it is harvested from wild silkworms that spin cocoons in forests, resulting in a unique, lustrous, and durable fiber. Kosa silk is valued for its smooth texture, rich sheen, and natural resilience, often used in high-quality textiles and traditional garments. Its production is environmentally friendly, as it involves ethical harvesting without harming the silkworms, making it a sustainable choice for eco-conscious consumers.
