Its making process is to handy and no machine were used in KOSA production all process is done by hand only. PROCEDURE : Kosa ( Tasar Kosa ) is produced through special kind of butterfly . The color of Female butter fly is Yellow and Light-Blue where else Male butter fly has Reddish-Brown color . First of all re-production process holds in a room where a chain of Cocoon shell is tied .Male and Female butterfly make their pair by sitting on Cocoon shell chain . After 24 Hours from re-production process female butterfly is taken out from pairs and kept into a small pot ( Mud Utensil ) . Female Butterfly lays 150-200 Eggs in pot in 72 Hours . For the check of infective eggs the mother butterfly is post-martemed . If any disease found in mother butterfly the eggs are not used. Only disease free eggs are taken for next procedure. The eggs are washed by soap ( Lifeboy only ) or NAOH and then cleaned in 2% HCL and after that in 2% FARMLINE . After these eggs are kept in room which contains 25-28 Degree Celsius Temperature and 60-85% Humidity . Small insects (Crimies) comes out size of 5mm after 8 days . The Crimies depends on a special kind of plant for their meal . They depends on two type of plants known as Arjuna and Shaja . This plants are Six feet in height . The Crimies are ready for production in 1-1/2 Months . The Crimie are sleeps first 24 Hours after they keep in trees first time. And during sleeping period he left his skin as a Snake and repeats it 4 times . After 12 Days they produce Thread from their Mouth ( Its like a Yellow-White Liquid ) which they Rolled-Up their bodies and make a solid cover which is known as Cocoon shell . Crimies turn them-self into PUPA in Cocoon shell and comes out from Cocoon shell and then Cocoon shell is again used for re-cycling the process of reproduction. Some of Cocoon shell is taken out for re-cycling of re-production process while rest of them are kept into High Temperature Machine ( In 300 Degree Celsius for about Three Hours ) before the Crimies comes out from Cocoon shell . The result is that the Crimies died inside Cocoon shell and the Cocoon shell are ready for making Kosa Thread. Cocoon shell now boiled in water still it gets softer and women labors turn this Cocoon shell into Kosa Thread through a long time spinning process and these threads are used for making Kosa Kurtas , Sarees , Shirts , Salwar- Suits and many other cloths.
