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.

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.

Bleached Mulberry Silk Yarn Warp / Tana (White)
This is a high-performance “Tana” yarn that has undergone a professional bleaching process to achieve a blinding, “optic” white. It is stripped of all natural pigments to ensure it provides a perfectly neutral base for the most delicate pastel dyes. The strength of the Mulberry filament is preserved, allowing it to withstand the rhythmic tension of the loom’s harness. When woven, it produces a fabric with a mirror-like sheen that is synonymous with royal wedding attire. It is the essential starting point for any weaver aiming for a “pure” look. This yarn doesn’t just hold a fabric together; it makes it glow from within.
