Mulberry silk fabric or Tussah silk fabric?! Which is better? ----By Lynn from Predatex Silk Co., Ltd


1.    Difference from their silk worms!

Mulberry silk fabrics are made of mulberry silk which is cocooned by mulberry silk worms who feed on mulberry leaves while tussah silk fabrics are made of mulberry silk which is cocooned by tussah silk worms who feed on tussah leaves.  And they are no the same kind of silk worms at all! Nowadays mulberry silk worms are raised by people and tussah silk worms are wild worms.

2.     Difference from their appearance,handfeel, usage and price!
Mulberry silk fabric is in delicate white, supple and flexible with fine and symmetry fiber.
While tussah silk fabric is relatively stiff in handfeel and the thickness is uneven with more knots. The color for tussah fabric is not as white as mulberry, but some kind of gray and blue!
In general, the application of mulberry silk fabric is more extensive. It is the first choice for gowns and fashion with items such as silk satin charmeuse, silk georgette, silk crepe de chine, silk habutai, silk chiffon and so on. And tussah silk is mainly used for quilt or silk blanket,sometimes coats.
Pricewise, because the mulberry silkworms need artificial farming with much greater demand, so the price is higher than the tussah silk fabrics in general.

3.    Which is better indeed? Mulberry silk or Tussah silk!
Personally I think mulberry silk fabric is better as they have been well recognized by people for thousands of years for its luxurious characteristics. Even through tussah silk fabrics are recently used by some designers for fashion uses due to its “raw”and “wild” characteristics, they are still not widely used or accepted! Of course, Predatex Silk is specialized for mulberry silk fabric for many years and we might have some “biases”on this issue! Then what do you think about this issue or would you like to know more?
