Muga Silk Yarn

Its amber-gold tone is intrinsic to the fibre rather than a dye effect. For buyers, the commercial value is not only lustre, but also origin control, lot separation, and export documentation that protects a premium material claim.

Muga. The only golden silk the world makes.

Antheraea assamensis · Semi-domesticated wild silk · Som & Soalu fed

🏅 GI-Protected · Assam Muga Silk · GI Act 1999

Muga silk is produced exclusively in Assam. Its natural golden-amber colour is not a dye — it is intrinsic to the fibre, permanent, and deepens with age. Among all silk varieties, Muga is the strongest. Its tenacity exceeds cultivated silks, and its metallic sheen is visible in daylight without any finishing treatment.

SUTAAS sources Muga from FPO-member rearing households across Sibsagar, Dibrugarh, and Kamrup districts — the historic core of Assam's Muga belt.
