Silk Fabrics

Luxurious, finely woven undyed silk fabrics, selected for their suitability for silk painting, dyeing and screen printing. The material is sold in one metre lengths and where more than one metre is ordered, the fabric will be supplied in a continuous length. For classrooms and workshops, both Habotai and Pongee are available to order by the roll; these silk fabrics are a particularly good choice for silk painting techniques.

Also includes white undyed Velvet and black dyed Velvet for devore, discharge dyeing and other textile applications.

What is a Momme (mm)?

Pronounced “mom-ee”, a momme (mm) is a traditional East Asian unit used to measure the weight of silk fabric. One momme is equivalent to approximately 4.34g per square metre (gsm). The higher the momme, the heavier, more durable and generally less translucent the fabric becomes.
