Yes, our silks are 100% A grade pure mulberry silks, unless stated otherwise. For example, silk cotton voile (30% silk, 70% cotton) and stretch silk satin (92% silk, 8% spandex).
Yes, silk does shrink when washed. Our silk fabrics and silk scarves are not pre-shrunk. If you are using silk to make clothes please make allowance for silk shrinkage.
The amount the silk shrinks depends on how tightly woven it is. Tightly woven silk fabric shrinks less than a loosely woven silk fabric. The table below gives you some examples of estimated shrinkage.
'mm' is the abbreviation for the word 'momme'. Momme is a weight measurement for silk. The higher the momme, the heavier the silk. 1 momme = 3.75 grams approximately.
We offer a variety of scarf sizes. Each silk scarf is cut to the specified size, for example 160 x 28cms. Then a rolled hem of approximately 1-2cm is sewn on all sides. This reduces the size of the finished scarf.
