About this document
Types of Silk in Karnataka: Mulberry & Wild by amreen.hussain.0906 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses two types of silk famous in Karnataka: mulberry silk and wild silk. Mulberry silk is produced exclusively by the Bombyx Mori silkworm, which feeds only on mulberry tree leaves, producing long, fine, strong, and durable white cocoon threads. Wild silk refers to silk from silkworms that feed on leaves of various trees like chestnut and oak, resulting in shorter, thicker, browner, and less fine irregular cocoon threads compared to mulberry silk.
