Muga silk from Assam is one of the rarest silks of the world. It is produced only in Assam and nowhere else. The fact that sets this Silk apart from all other versions is that it is totally golden yellow in color. The word `Muga’ means yellowish in Assamese. The source of it is the Muga Silkworm which goes back to the age of the dinosaurs and is so sensitive in nature that it cannot tolerate even the most minimum of pollution levels.The silk is known for its extreme durability and has a natural golden tint with a shimmering texture. It was previously reserved for the use of royalty. Muga silk can be dyed after bleaching and can be hand-washed with its lustre increasing after every wash.
