Muga sliver top

Sliver $180 Kilo $0.19gram

Muga silk is one of the many nature's gift to Assam. The specialty of this silk is it's golden bright color. "Muga" is derived from the Assamese word 'muga' meaning yellowish. It is superior in every respect from the normal white silk available all over the world. This silk is much more durable than the normal one. And interestingly it's brightness improves with every wash while the normal silk has to be very carefully washed. Apart from normal dressings, it is used in other furnishing and decoration stuff too. Muga clothes are so durable that it can be used for decades. Muga Silk is supposed to be one of the costliest fabrics in the whole world.

NOTE: If you soak the red eri roving in water with a touch of mild soap (e.g. original blue Dawn®) the red color stays intact,
 even when sharing the bath with white eri silk and natural tussah silk. But if you soak it with other items that have been
processed differently (specifically bleached tussah), the ‘fugitiveness’ of the red color will stain the other items sharing the bath.
