Usually, we offer 3 kinds of silk:
  • Habotai o5 mm (or Pongee 05 mm or China silk) - plain weave fabric, very soft and smooth, lustrous and supple, semi-sheer, very gentle next to the skin. This is the most economical silk we have, and we call it simple - very light silk. The weight is 19-21 g per square meter.
  • Habotai 08 mm (or Pongee 08 mm or China silk) - plain weave fabric, soft and smooth, fairly sheer with a lovely moderate sheen. We call it simple - light silk. The weight is 34-35 g per square meter. Best choice for a long life of scarves.
  • Crepe de Chine 10mm or 12 mm has a slightly "pebbled" texture with a gentle drape. It is very soft & matt, and usually, colors look a bit paler than on Habotai, but with deeper shades. The weight is about 48 g per square meter. This fabric is perfect for clothing.
"mm" means momme, the unit of measure of the weight of silk. The more significant number, the heavier weight silk. Under 8mm silk is pretty sheer and light.
