Rangpur Wild Silk Fabric Company Limited

We are out here in Simaluguri, right in Deodhai Gaon. The air in Sivasagar has a certain way of feeling, especially when you are working with wild silk all day. It is not like the factory stuff you see. We have these looms set up in the back and they have been there for a long time. Some of them have been repaired so many times the wood is different colors. My family has lived in this village forever and we just sort of fell into this line of work. Every morning starts with checking the silk. The wild variety is tricky because it is not always uniform. You get these little bumps and knots, but that is just how it grows. We spend hours just sitting there, moving the threads back and forth. It is quiet work mostly, except for the clicking of the wood. Sometimes the neighbors come by to chat and we stop for a bit. The shed gets really hot around noon, so we usually take a long break then. We do not have a big fancy office or anything. Just the workshop and a place to store the finished fabric. It gets dusty because of the dirt roads around here. We have to keep everything wrapped up tight so the silk stays clean. It is hard work on the eyes after a while. We just keep at it because it is what we know. Simaluguri is a good place for this. It keeps us busy and we like the lifestyle.
