What Is Momme In Silk Fabric & What Is Thread Count?
Do you know what momme means? Mommes (mm), is a unit traditionally used to measure the quality of silk fabrics. One momme = 4.340 grams per square meter; 8 mommes is approximately 1 ounce per square yard or 35 grams per square meter.
The usual range of momme weight for different weaves of silk are:
Gauze
3-5 momme
Organza
4-6 momme
Chiffon
6-8 momme
Habotai
12-16 momme
Charmeuse
12-30 momme
Raw silk
35-40 momme
The higher Momme weight the better?
MOMME(MM)=DENSITY
19mm=19lbs 100 yards of silk
19mm=19lbs 100 yards of silk
The Density of silk measured by momme.the density of the threads in the 25 momme variety of silk is also significantly higher than that of the 22 momme or 19 momme. Our 25 momme silk pillowcase boast of a thread count of 750, while our 22Momme silk pillowcase has a thread count of 600+ and 19mm silk pillowcase, has a thread count of only 400. More threads = more durable and expensive.
