1 Antherea
Several commercial varieties of wild silks are obtained from the silkworms as under. These worms do not feed on mulberry leaves, and because of this fact are called wild silks: - Antherea Yama-Mai - A native of Japan which feeds on oak leaves. The caterpillar is green-coloured - its cocoon is large and bright green. The fibre is not so readily dyed and bleached as Bombax mori. Antherea Pernyi - A native of China, feeding on oak leaves. The cocoon is large and of a yellow to brown colour. Antherea Assama - A native of India, giving a large cocoon. Antherea Mylitta - A native of India (see Antherea Silk) -
2 Antherea Silk
A term often applied to the silk produced by the Antherea mylitta, a wild silkworm of India, which gives the so-called tussah silk. The worms feed on the leaves of the castor-oil plant, and give very large cocoons. The fibre is much longer than from the cocoon of the Pombyx mori, varying from 600 to 2,000 yards in length. The colour of tussah silk varies from a grey to a deep brown. Other wild silks are also frequently given this name (see Antherea) -
3 Tussah Silk
Wild silk, brownish in colour, produced by the silkworm Antherasa Mylitta. The most important of the wild silks, and imported from India and China. The Chinese variety is of a darker colour than the Indian. Fabrics known under this term indicate that they have tussah silk as a whole or part of their construction. The yarn is generally spun as the bulk of the cocoons cannot be reeled. -
