Before you order
Raw silk in red makes up this saree, supplied in free size. The colour, the fabric and the size are the whole of what the product record holds for this design, so no length, work type, blouse arrangement or wash care appears on this page. Raw silk is silk that has kept its natural gum, or sericin, rather than having it boiled away in degumming. That single difference explains almost everything about how the fabric behaves. The retained gum gives raw silk a dry, slightly rough handle instead of the cool slipperiness of a degummed weave. It stiffens the yarn, so the cloth has body and holds a defined pleat where a smooth silk would slide. And it dulls the surface, so raw silk reads matt with a low lustre rather than shining. That firmness is worth knowing when you drape it. Raw silk pleats crisply and stays where you put it, but it does not flow, so it makes a structured saree rather than a fluid one. Red in a matt, textured silk reads differently from red in a shiny one: deeper and less declarative, which suits a festival day or a family function. A slight colour variation may occur because of lighting, camera flash and screen settings.

Raw silk is silk that has kept its natural gum, called sericin, rather than having it boiled away in the degumming process most silks go through. The retained gum stiffens the yarn and dulls the surface, which is why raw silk feels dry and looks matt rather than lustrous.
Dry and slightly rough rather than cool and slippery. Running a hand across raw silk you feel texture and a faint resistance; smooth degummed silk slides under the fingers. That difference comes entirely from the natural gum that raw silk retains in its fibre.
Better than almost any other silk. The retained gum gives the yarn stiffness and the cloth body, so pleats stay crisp and defined where a smooth silk would let them slide apart. The trade-off is that raw silk makes a structured drape rather than a flowing one.
Because the surface is matt rather than lustrous. A shiny silk reflects light back at you and makes red look bright and declarative. Raw silk absorbs more of that light, so the same red reads deeper, quieter and more textured, which many people find easier to wear.
