The combination of its rough texture and shining silk fabric makes a Matka saree stunning. The thickness of the fabric gives these sarees a unique look and also makes them an excellent medium for showcasing traditional craft work on fabric. Matka silk refers to the rough handloom silk fabric that is woven out of the thick yarns from the cocoon of the Mulberry silkworm. .. .. [ + ]

Since the yarns are spun by hand without washing away the gum, the resulting weave has irregularities that give the fabric an uneven look. Matka silks originate from Bhagalpur, which is located along the banks of the Ganges. The city is known for its silk industry, including Matka and Tussar silks. At Sakhi, our online store features a wide range of beautiful Matka silk sarees in an array of colours, both dark and light.
