Tussah is wildcrafted, thus is naturally both organic silk and "Peace Silk." Tussah (wild) silk worms live naturally in tropical or semi-tropical forests. Their silk is gathered after the moth emerges. The caterpillars eat all kinds of different trees, all rich in tannin, so the silk is beige to brownish-toned. There are many varieties and shades of wild silk. Tussah is generally stronger and more resilient than cultivated.
