Matka Silk is a rough handloom silk fabric made from the waste Mulberry Silk (Bombyx Mori) without removing its gum (sericin) part. It is largely obtained from the states of Karnataka and Kashmir but its spinning is done in the Malda and Murshidabad districts in West Bengal. Sujapur village in West Bengal, Islampur village in Bangladesh and Dariapur village in Gujarat are the hubs of matka silk spinning. Artisans in Bhagalpur go a step ahead and use their Neelam 60 Lea Count linen in the weft with this matka silk fabric in the warp for a beautiful new fabric which is born: silk linen.
