Silk satin with elastane in an artistic pattern in browns

Mulberry silk fabric, meaning pure luxury

Natural mulberry silk — is a fabric worth remembering, because the feel of this fabric can transport us into a world of luxury with just the first touch. Fabric category: Silk. This material is 100% mulberry silk or a version with added elastane, with a width of 140 cm. The gsm is approximately 16 momme, which provides lightness and an exceptionally fluid drape of the fabric. The finish and textures depend on the chosen weave: silk satin, twill, crepe de chine, and chiffon create a diverse character — from a brilliant sheen to a subtle, matte charm. These textiles are capable of turning the most ordinary project into a true “wow”.

Mulberry silk—what is it, meaning its properties

A natural treasure in two versions: 100% mulberry silk or versions with added elastane, with a gsm of around 16 momme, which guarantees excellent abrasion resistance and durability. Mulberry silk is a fabric with exceptional hygroscopicity and thermoregulation — the skin breathes, moisture evaporates, and the material maintains thermal comfort even in changing conditions. Optional elastane adds gentle stretch, making the fabric even more practical for tailored cuts. The silk satin weave provides intense shine and a smooth surface, twill adds a soft texture and subtle weight, crepe de chine introduces a lightly rippled, soft texture, and chiffon ensures lightness and airiness of movement. A width of 140 cm makes it possible to create designs with a minimal number of cuts, which every sewing professional will appreciate.
Mulberry silk is made from silkworm cocoons, which most prefer to feed 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 at temperatures up to 30°C with a mild detergent intended for silk. Avoid chlorine and high temperatures. Do not spin on high speeds; best to dry by laying flat or hanging 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 to avoid damaging the delicate structure. Elastane versions also require gentle care to preserve stretch without losing shape.

What can you sew with silk?

Thanks to its lightness, drape, and beautiful sheen, natural mulberry silk is ideal for projects that aim to impress with both elegance and comfort. Perfect for long, flowy dresses and evening blouses, as well as for statement shirts and skirts with soft, flowing lines. Elastane versions work great for fitted styles — a fitted blouse, a light blazer, or an elegant jumpsuit will provide comfort and a loose yet 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 complete any outfit.
