What is another word for tussah?
Pronunciation: [tˈʌsə] (IPA) 
Tussah is a type of silk that is produced from the wild silkworm. It is known for its natural golden color and its texture, which is slightly rougher than other forms of silk. Some synonyms for the word tussah include wild silk, shantung, and dupion silk. Shantung is a type of silk that is characterized by its slub texture, which is caused by the irregular weaving of the fibers. Dupion silk, on the other hand, is made from two silkworms that spin their cocoons together, resulting in a more irregular texture. Both shantung and dupion silk are often used in fashion and home decor, just like tussah.
