Raw silk is the natural fiber harvested directly from silkworm cocoons, retaining its original protein structure and slight natural gum content. This grade is prized for its soft hand feel, subtle sheen, and breathable properties, making it suitable for lightweight apparel, scarves, and home textiles.
The material is washable with care, though pre-washing is recommended to stabilize shrinkage and improve color consistency. It is typically supplied in raw or degummed form, with degummed versions offering a cleaner finish and reduced stiffness.
Suppliers in India offer raw silk in multiple purity levels. Higher purity grades command premium pricing due to reduced sericin content and smoother texture. Ensure alignment with your application - garment linings tolerate more gum, while high-end fabrics require degummed variants.

Not ideal for:
Compared to spun silk or dupion, raw silk offers superior drape and natural texture but is less durable under repeated mechanical stress. It is more affordable than organzine-grade silk but lacks the refined luster and evenness of combed filament.
Pricing scales with MOQ tiers and order volume. Lower MOQs carry higher per-unit costs. Request a quote based on your projected usage to secure optimal rates.
Junk Box sources raw silk from certified producers across Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal, leveraging regional sericulture clusters with traceable origin.
As an exporter with over 15 years in silk trade, they provide pre-shipment testing for moisture content, sericin level, and tensile strength upon request. Long-standing relationships with cooperatives ensure consistent supply of both mulberry and tussah silk variants.
Raw silk can be machine washed on delicate cycle with cold water and mild detergent, but pre-washing is recommended to minimize shrinkage and color bleeding. Always test a small piece first.
Yes. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light and humidity. Use breathable fabric covers and avoid plastic bags to prevent moisture buildup and fiber weakening.
Yes, raw silk accepts dyes well, especially after degumming. Natural dyes or fiber-reactive dyes are commonly used. Confirm with supplier for dye compatibility and colorfastness testing.
Raw silk retains natural sericin, giving it a slightly rougher texture and stiffness. Degummed silk is processed to remove sericin, resulting in a softer, shinier, and more drapeable fabric.
Not ideal for prolonged outdoor exposure. Silk degrades under UV, moisture, and abrasion. It is best suited for indoor apparel, accessories, and home décor.

Yes, most suppliers provide small samples (10 - 50g) for evaluation. Request samples with your desired specifications to assess texture, sheen, and dye uptake.
Custom dyeing and finishing can add 7 - 14 days to the lead time, depending on workload and process complexity. Confirm with supplier during negotiation.
