Handcrafted Production of Ghisa Silk: A True Art

The production of Ghisa silk is a meticulous process that involves the careful rearing of silkworms native to Assam. These silkworms feed on the leaves of som and sualu trees. After the silkworms have spun their cocoons, the cocoons are harvested, and the silk fibers are extracted using a process called reeling. Ghisa silk is unique due to its lustrous texture and rich, natural color. The resulting silk yarn is then woven into various garments and textiles. The silk is not dyed or bleached, making it a truly natural and sustainable textile. Read more about Ghisa silk in our in-depth blog.
