This “6 Ply” yarn is a local favorite, offering a balance of thickness and high-grade fineness that is perfect for artisanal weaving. By twisting six strands of 20-22D silk, the reelers create a yarn that is incredibly consistent and easy to work with. The white color is natural and vibrant, suitable for a wide range of traditional and modern designs. It is commonly used in the “weft” to add body and a rich luster to premium silk yardage. This yarn is a testament to the skill of local Indian reelers who understand the exact needs of the handloom community. It is a reliable and beautiful choice for any high-quality silk project.

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.

3 Count Silk Noil Yarn (White)
Sitting right in the middle of the noil family, the 3-count yarn is a versatile medium-weight thread. It offers a slightly more rustic look than the 4-count, with more frequent textural variations that catch the eye. The white color is brilliant, acting as a high-contrast backdrop for the shadows created by its own texture. It is particularly effective when used in the weft to create horizontal “slubs” across a smoother warp. This yarn is often chosen for high-end upholstery where a natural, “earthy” luxury is the design goal. It bridges the gap between the primitive and the polished.

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.

Handloom Tana Pure Silk Warp Yarn (White)
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.
