Description
100% Muga Silk – This beautiful golden hue is a natural colour produced by the wild Assam silkworm (Antheraea assamensis) native to that region. Muga silk was originally reserved for Assam’s royal families due to its high value.
Hand-washing muga silk in tepid water without a detergent is recommended for the first 2-3 washes. Further washes can use protein appropriate detergents, preferably pH neutral. Do not use any harsh chemicals, this includes modern washing powders which will often include enzymes and bleaching agents. Do not wring or crush when washing, merely swirl the silk around the bucket/basin.
