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 plain fabric with a crisp appearance, made from rays of silk. Considered a premium fabric, its light and fluid structure allows it to gracefully drape the body, creating elegant silhouettes.
This 100% yellow chick changing silk taffeta is perfectly suited to making ball gowns, wedding or evening dresses, accessories and in interior decoration, for making curtains or wall coverings.
A mixture of yellow threads in similar shades creates a pretty “changing” effect.
Taffeta 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.
