When enveloped by silk, it’s soft and comfortable all-year-round. Because the composition of silk is very close to that of human skin, it is favored amongst people with sensitive skin.What’s Matka Silk?Matka Silk is a knobby handloom silk fabric made from the Bombyx Mori silkworm. It’s also known as raw silk. Like raw silk, matka silk still has the sericin residue (gum) that the silkworm has released. This particular silkworm creates irregular textures in the fabric that resembles tweed. Because of its finer, tighter weave, it’s also used for upholstery and outerwear. It’s commonly used for sarees, cloths, and kurtas in India. As the garment is worn more often with longevity, it will soften & hug the body more.Silk is hygroscopic, moisture-releasing, and breathable.There are many women who suffer from poor circulation. From researching, the reason why many women have cold extremities is possibly due to fluctuations of hormones, body mass, and lower metabolic rates.
