About Silk
Mulberry Silk, aka the QUEEN of SILK, is from the mulberry silkworm. This natural fiber is spun from the cocoons of the silkworm and produces the finest textiles.Silk is hygienically superior. It allows your skin to breathe easily and it naturally wicks away moisture to keep the skin dry.Silk possesses various amino acids which people need to protect their skin and stay healthy.Silk has the greatest strength of any of the natural textile fabrics. Silk is weaker when wet than when dry, but its original strength returns when it dries. Silk will stand an even pull better than it will a sudden, severe strain.Silk Charmeuse is glossy and light, very soft like a baby's skin, cool in summer, warm in winter.
Momme WeightBecause silk is such a fine fabric, it is generally measured by "momme weight" instead of thread count. Momme (pronounced "mummy") is a unit of weight used to measure and describe silk fabrics. The higher the momme, the heavier the fabric.GSM refers to grams per square meter of fabric. It is the major computation unit for fabric texture, usually expressed in momme weight (m/m). Silk is so much finer than cotton or other textiles, it is measured by momme weight. With higher m/m, the fabric is thicker in texture and of higher value due to the higher content of silk per square meter.Silk Charmeuse: is a satiny fabric made of raw, unboiled mulberry silk. With at least five tricot & weft lines in each dense and solid stitch, silk charmeuse has a shiny smooth surface, and dull crepe underside. Silk charmeuse uses the most sophisticated technologies and highest level processes, resulting in a most luxurious appearance and an extremely soft hand.
