g/ml or g/m²: how to convert a fabric’s weight
g/ml tells you what the metre you buy weighs, g/m² what the fabric itself weighs. The formula, a table by width, and when to look at which.
Crepon is a lightweight fabric known for its delicately crinkled appearance and airy texture.
This pale gold 100% silk crepon is ideal for making blouses, flowing dresses, shirts, and elegant stoles.
Its subtly embossed surface gives it character while retaining the softness and natural sheen of silk.
Silk crepon made in Italy.

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.
