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.
Taffeta is a clean, smooth, crisp-looking plain fabric made from silk rays. Considered a high-end fabric, its light and fluid structure allows it to gracefully drape the body, creating elegant silhouettes. This heavyweight version is approximately twice as heavy as our classic taffeta.
This 100% silk ivory taffeta is perfectly suited for making ball gowns, wedding or evening dresses, accessories and in interior decoration, for making curtains or wall coverings.

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.
