Fabric weight in g/m² or g/ml, silk momme, fabric width, yardage: our practical guides explain the numbers behind fabric, with examples from our catalogue.

Silk momme: what is it, and how do you calculate it?
Momme measures how much a square metre of silk weighs. Where it comes from, how to work it out from our weights in g/ml, and what it does (or doesn’t) tell you about a fabric.
