Silk satin with elastane in a light blue mosaic floral pattern

Silk fabric material, meaning pure luxury

Natural mulberry silk — is a fabric worth remembering, because the feel of this fabric can take us into a world of luxury already with the first touch. Fabric category: Silk. This is a material made of 100% mulberry silk or in a version with added elastane, with a width of 140 cm. The weight is about 16 momme, which provides lightness and an exceptionally fluid drape. The finish and texture depend on the chosen weave: silk satin, twill, crepe de chine, and chiffon create a varied character — from a glossy sheen to a subtle, matte charm. These textiles can turn the most ordinary project into a real “wow”.

Mulberry silk—what it is, meaning properties

This is a natural treasure in two versions: 100% mulberry silk or versions with added elastane, with a weight of around 16 momme, which guarantees excellent coverage and durability. Mulberry silk is a fabric with exceptional hygroscopicity and thermoregulation — the skin can breathe, moisture evaporates, and the material maintains thermal comfort even in changing conditions. Optional elastane adds a delicate stretch, making the fabric even more practical for fitted cuts. The silk satin weave provides an intense shine and a smooth surface, twill adds a soft texture and subtle weight, crepe de chine creates a slightly ribbed, soft texture, and chiffon ensures lightness and a fluid movement. A width of 140 cm allows for creating projects with a minimal number of cuts, which every sewer will appreciate.
Mulberry silk is made from silkworm cocoons, which most enjoy feeding on mulberry leaves.

How to care for silk?

Composition: 100% mulberry silk or elastane versions. To maintain the fabric’s properties, we recommend washing on a delicate cycle or hand washing in water up to 30°C with a mild detergent intended for silk. Avoid chlorine and high temperatures. Do not spin on high speed; best is to dry flat or hang in the shade, avoiding direct sunlight. Set the iron to a low temperature (or medium) and iron through a delicate piece of cotton on the wrong side; if needed, use steam from a distance so as not to damage the delicate structure. Elastane versions also require gentle care to preserve stretch without losing shape.

What can be sewn from silk?

Thanks to its lightness, drape, and beautiful sheen, natural mulberry silk is ideal for projects that want to surprise with elegance and comfort. Perfect for long, flowing dresses and evening blouses, as well as for statement-made shirts and skirts with soft, fluid lines. Elastane versions work great for fitted styles — a fitted blouse, a light blazer, or an elegant jumpsuit will provide comfort and a loose but refined character. With a width of 140 cm and a wealth of patterns, this fabric is also an excellent choice for scarves, shawls, and accessories that will complete any outfit.
