Wild silk is much more than the miraculous journey of metamorphosis from caterpillar to silken luxury. It is tightly woven to an ancient living culture raising tasar, muga and eri silkworms in remote forests of central and eastern India. Raising wild silkworms, reeling cocoons, spinning fiber and weaving silk cloth provides sustainable work and a regular income, while protecting the environment, lifting the status of women and maintaining a traditional lifestyle. Photos and stories captured from weavers, spinners, and silkworm farmers over thirty years of field research will transport you into their homes and villages to witness the love and dedication involved in each part of the process from soil to cloth.
