What is Matka Silk?

Handspun natural dyed organic silk fabric. The traditional process of silk production requires the killing of hundreds of thousands of silk moths in their pupae stage by heating and boiling. Silk can also be made in non-violent way. Unlike the conventional method where pupae are killed before reeling yarn from the cocoons, in the production of non violent silk the adult moths are allowed to emerge alive from the cocoons and then the silk yarn is spun from the open-ended Tassar cocoons and from pierced tassar and muga cocoons that have been used in breeding cycles.

Matka silk is 100% silk linen sometimes wherein the yarn in the warp is the usual silk yarn, while the yarn is obtained from short ends of silk from Mulberry silkworms (Bombyx Mori) and spun by hand without removing the gum (sericin). The dyeing and weaving processes provide a beautiful and subtle variation of color throughout. Like all silks, some irregularities and slubbing can be found due to the hand-processinggiving the fabric a unique character. It looks like linen, but it is highly wrinkle resistant, cool and comfortable.

Matka silk keeps the body cool in summer and warm in winter and is available in a range of colors.

Eco-Friendly? All of the dyes and bleaching processes are 100% lead and azo-free. Silks are also renewable and do not rely on the heavy use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

Care: Probably better to dry clean unless you can live with a a lot of shrinkage from hand-washing.
