The production of Mysore silk sarees is a skill that has been passed down from generation to generation in the city of Mysore. Mysore silk sarees are one of the most expensive ones in the world. The prices vary and range from Rs.3000 to Rs.50,000 depending on the type of Mysore silk saree it is. I have a few friends who have bought these sarees for their wedding trousseau because they know how expensive they are.


An exquisite silk saree from India, the Mysore silk saree is prized for its high quality and rich texture. The sarees are handwoven and are usually nine meters long. A wide variety of colors are available.


The Mysore silk saree is typically woven out of pure silk and sewn into a nine-yard long piece. A number of colors are available including blue, red, green, purple,

Mysore silk is one of the most famous types of silk in India. Originating from the city of Mysore, this luxurious fabric is a symbol of Indian heritage.


Everyone always wondered how these sarees are made. The process is not as simple and it starts with the spinning of yarn, in which the desired weight and thickness is achieved. Cotton is the most commonly used fiber for this process. Cotton is spun into yarn and then in some cases, it is sent to a cotton gin to extract the short fibers. The remaining lint is sent to a spinning mill, where it is twisted into long lengths of yarn. At this point, it can be dyed or left natural.


The silkworm is a caterpillar that lives on mulberry leaves. The silk it produces is then used to make cloth. The silkworm eats the leaves and excretes a sticky substance called silk gum. This is collected by the silkworm farmer and then boiled to make into silk thread.

The silk thread is then stored in cocoons to be used at a later date. The cocoons are boiled again in order to produce raw silk. The raw silk is then cleaned!
