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.
Silk satin is a fine, supple and generally shiny fabric on the right side and matte on the reverse. Its smooth appearance and silky feel are due to the weave of the fabric. Silk satin, more luxurious, is used in both haute couture and ready-to-wear.
This version has two shiny sides and also contains 26% wool for an absolutely exceptional drape.
This buttercup yellow silk and wool satin will be perfect for all your creations: suits, skirts, blouses, wedding/evening dresses, refined and elegant lingerie and pajamas.
Silk and wool satin 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.
