Weave Methods

Charmeuse silk

crêpe de chine
They are made of mulberry silk uniquely by twisting the delicate threads in various directions. The twisted fibers give crêpe de chine silk-free from wrinkles, which makes them easy to handle. The fine silk has an airy matte finish which is ideal for both formal and casual wear.
Silk Georgette
Silk Georgette is a light, loosely woven sheer fabric made from highly twisted yarns. It has a crinkled texture on the surface and is manufactured in both plain and patterned forms. Silk Georgette is used mainly for blouses, dresses, and luxurious evening wear.
Dupion silk
Dupion silk is produced by two silkworms that spin in a cocoon together, usually resulting in a rough yarn texture. This makes dupion silk stronger than most other silks. Black specks that irregularly appear on the fabric are part of the making process of the silk by the silkworms. Dupion silk can be seen on Indian traditional wear and scarves.
Chiffon silk
Chiffon silk A matte fabric that is exceptionally lightweight, with its delicate yarns spaced out to make the fabric seamlessly transparent and is exceedingly soft, elastic, breathable, and comfortable.
Habotai silk
Habotai silk is recognized as the ‘classic’ silk fabric. Velvety and lightweight, Habotai silk is a smooth fabric with a stunning drape accompanied by a smooth surface. It is widely used for creating scarves.

What’s Momme Count？
Momme (mm) is used to measure the quality and density of silk fabrics.
1MM = 4.3056 grams per square meter
16MM = 69 grams per square meter
19MM = 82 grams per square meter
22MM = 95 grams per square meter
25MM = 108 grams per square meter
and so on…

The density of silk is measured by momme and depends on the thread counts. The higher the thread count, the more durable the fabric, and of course, the more costly it.

The higher the momme weight, the more luxurious the fabric is. However, it depends on if such thickness is suitable for types of silk products. For example, lightweight 16mm silk is usually used for scarves, 19mm and 22mm is for sleepwear and clothing. Using a 25mm silk for sleepwear would be too heavy to put on in bed, but 16mm is too sheer for the dress and not that durable. In other words, it is worth making consideration when choosing the right momme for the good silk product.
