Truly understand the momme weight, some skills are given below to distinguish some natural silk whether it is in high quality or inferior one.
The typical momme weight range for a few of the different silks are as follows:
Habutai silk – 5 to 16 momme weight
Raw silk – 35 to 40 momme weight
Chiffon – 6 to 8 momme weight
Gauze – 3 to 5 momme weight
Momme weight is usually shown as “mm.”
When you are shopping for silk bedding or silk quilt and the salesperson starts talking about “momme weight” you will know exactly what they are talking about. And if he or she tries to sell you silk sheets with a momme weight of 8, you can educate that salesperson and tell him or her that 8 momme weight sheets are too lightweight to be a good choice for silk comforter and that they can try and sell their inferior product to someone else because you are not buying them. You are going to look for higher quality silk sheets that will last you a long time.
Just like you are an expert, and you will get the silk in a reasonable price and high-quality.
