and ruching.
Momme (pronounced "mommy") -
Did you know that although most fabrics are measured
in thread count, silk is measured in momme weight, or mm.
A silk's particular momme refers to the calculated
weight of a piece of silk fabric when measured at
a standard 100 yards long and 45 inches wide.
For a piece weighing 8 pounds at that size,
the calculated momme is 8.
