All About The Wild Silks Of Assam

Years ago my mother gifted me a silk shawl, the fabric that I held in my hand was coarse. Nothing like any silk fabric I had worn so far. Guessing my disappointment, mother told me that this shawl will get better with time. The more I use and wash the cloth, the softer (and stronger) it will get. This was six years ago and the shawl comes out every winter, more stronger, softer and shinier. That's eri silk for you. One of the three wild silks from Assam. Commonly known as Assam silk - Muga, Eri and Pat are three types of silk produced only in Assam.
