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.

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.

140nm Spun Silk Yarn Cone (White)
This yarn is the twin of the previous 140nm, but it comes wound tightly onto an industrial cone for the modern weaver. The cone allows for high-speed unwinding, ensuring that the ultra-fine “140nm” thread doesn’t snag or break during intensive production. Its pristine white color is achieved through a gentle scouring process that preserves the silk’s natural proteins. It is the backbone of high-end hosiery and fine lingerie, providing a touch that is almost imperceptible against the skin. For designers working with computerized knitting machines, this cone is the ultimate marriage of delicacy and delivery. It represents the efficiency needed to bring silk luxury to a global scale.

2 Ply Spun Silk Yarn Cone (White)
Delivered on a convenient industrial cone, this 2-ply spun silk is ready for immediate use in machine knitting or high-volume weaving. The cone format prevents tangling and ensures a steady tension as the yarn feeds into the machinery. The yarn itself is a soft, white blend of silk fibers that offer a cozy, matte texture to the finished textile. It is particularly popular for creating luxury knitwear, such as lightweight sweaters and cardigans. By combining the convenience of the cone with the luxury of silk, it bridges the gap between artisanal quality and industrial efficiency. It is the workhorse of the luxury apparel industry.
