Specifically engineered for the “Tana” or warp of a loom, this yarn is the backbone of handloom weaving. It is exceptionally strong, designed to withstand the high tension required during the weaving process without snapping. The “Pure Silk” designation guarantees a high-grade filament that results in a shimmering, glass-like finish on the final fabric. Its brilliant white shade ensures that any “Bana” (weft) colors used alongside it will pop with incredible vibrancy. This yarn is the silent hero behind India’s most exquisite hand-woven sarees and stoles. Without the reliability of this Tana yarn, the art of the handloom would simply not be possible.

It possesses a pearlescent white sheen that looks almost ethereal under natural light. This yarn is highly sought after by industrial weavers who produce high-end yardage for international fashion houses. It offers a balance of fineness and tensile strength that is difficult to replicate with lower grades. It is the gold standard for creating smooth, high-luster silk satins.

Twisted 1 Ply Indian Dupion Silk Yarn (Yellow)
Proudly sourced and spun in India, this 1-ply yarn carries the vibrant energy of the local silk markets. The “Yellow” color is a hallmark of Indian Mulberry silk, radiating a warmth that complements South Asian skin tones perfectly. Being a “1 Ply,” it is lighter and more flexible than its multi-ply counterparts. It is extensively used in the “Bana” (weft) of Banarasi and Kanchipuram sarees to add that signature texture. The “Twisted” finish ensures that the single ply is strong enough to survive the friction of the shuttle. It is a true “made in India” classic.

It is the quintessential choice for interior design, specifically for curtains and lampshades that need to diffuse light. The “Natural” hue provides a grounding, organic feel to any room. It is a yarn that celebrates the beautiful imperfections of the natural world.

Twisted Pure Silk Yarn
This unique offering features a blend of white and yellow silk filaments, celebrating the diversity of the silk harvest. The “White” provides a clean brightness, while the “Yellow” adds a warm, sun-kissed undertone to the finished weave. It is a “raw” yarn, meaning the natural gum (sericin) is still present, giving it a stiff, paper-like quality. When the finished fabric is washed, the gum dissolves, leaving behind an incredibly soft and voluminous material. This dual-tone yarn is often used to create “chameleon” fabrics that appear to change color in different lighting. It is a tribute to the raw, unadulterated power of the silkworm’s labor.
