The
Indian woman and silk
fabrics are made
for each other. If for the woman, it is the love for the enchanting lure of
gossamer material, so light, so shiny and diaphanous that gives a new meaning
to fabrics. The fabric material silk also needs the encouragement of tradition
to show off its sensational brilliance through the allure and appeal of the
sarees donned by the Indian woman.
Silk, a natural protein fiber, has brought natural shine and lustre
to fabrics. Made up of fibroin and produced by certain insect larvae to form
cocoons, the mulberry silkworm Bombyx Mori reared in cultivated environment
domestically, produces what is known to the world as pure silk. The shimmering
appearance of silk is due to refraction of incoming light from different
angles, thus producing different colors.
Silks
are produced by several other insects, but generally only the silk of moth
caterpillars has been used for textile manufacturing. There are a variety of
wild silks, produced by caterpillars other than the mulberry silkworm, that
have been known to have a scale of production much smaller than that of cultivated silks.
Reasons
given are that domesticated silkworms are bred scientifically through a
strictly controlled diet of mulberry leaves and the environment kept conducive
for the making of cocoons by the silkworms. Naturaly the silk is of continuous
long length staples, of good texture and feel about it since the silk yarn is
reeled in without breaks from the cocoon directly, ensuring better strength of
the silken fabrics.
Wild
silkworms, not ‘diet controlled’ nor under close observation, the reeling in is
not continuous and with multiple breaks the overall texture and strength of the
silken fibres is affected.
South
Indian States have an ancient tradition to have only silken sarees for
weddings, festivals and other auspicious ceremonies. Once worn only by royalty
and upper classes, today no household in South India would not be having at
least one silk saree. Pure
silk sarees once
the privilege of hubs like Mysore, Kanchipuram, Dharmavaram only, is today
available at places like Arani, Rasipuram, Narayanpet, Uppada etc.in the South.
Traditionally Banaras, Sambalpur, Baluchar, Aurangabad, etc. are hubs which
have been providing pure silk sarees since long.
Silk has good strength, one
of the best in fabric fibres. A natural shine, soft, smooth textured, pure silk
is not slippery like many other fibres. Pure silk fabrics have universal appeal
for the regal feel they provide. The purity of pure silk from the domestic
silkworm serves as a comparison standard for fabrics with its yarn filament
consider as 1 denier.
The thickness or fineness of other yarn fibres are
compared using this as reference. Silk's absorbency makes it comfortable to
wear in warm weather and while active. Its low conductivity keeps warm air
close to the skin during cold weather. It finds application in all kinds of
apparel and furnishings and today hardly any area in fabrics has been left
untouched where the presence of silk is un-noticed.
