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.
Originally invented for the famous fashion designer Cristóbal Balenciaga, gazar is a rigid fabric made of intertwined and twisted double threads. This rigidity makes it possible to give many shapes to the fabric without it losing its hold. The twill of this fabric offers a texture produced by a particular weaving characterized by the presence of oblique ribs.
This 100% silk off-white gazar will be perfect for all your creations in which a drape or a certain shape and rigidity are necessary.
Silk gazar 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.
