Tussah silk
Liaoning tussah silk is a premium fabric made from the cocoons of tussah silkworms, a local specialty. Dandong City is the main production hub for tussah silk fabrics.
The luxury of tussah silk largely stems from, and fully showcases, the exceptional quality of tussah silk fibers. Garments made from tussah silk can absorb moisture during scorching summers and release it quickly, while in the depths of winter they provide skin-close warmth and a soft, comfortable feel — hence the saying that tussah silk offers warmth in winter and coolness in summer.
