Silk Facts

  • Our mulberry silk products are made from 100 percent silk for a true night of beauty sleep.
  • Silk fiber is a protein-based natural fiber produced by silk worms.
  • Each mulberry silk filament is 600 - 900 meters (1,970 - 2,950 feet) long and known for being strong and soft to the touch.
  • A silk bed sheet is made from real silk…unlike a satin pillowcase or satin sheet that is made from synthetic fiber.
  • Silk bed linen is hypoallergenic and dust mite resistant.
  • Momme weight is a unit of measurement for silk. The higher the momme, the heavier and denser the weave will be (density and yarn count are adjusted during silk production).
  • Higher momme weight silk fabrics are also made with thicker yarn.
  • Charmeuse is a style of weaving threads to create a luxurious luster on one side of the fabric and a matte finish on the reverse side.
  • Sleeping on a silk pillow case or sheet set is good for skin and hair. Silk bed linen minimizes hair breakage, frizzy hair, and the incidence of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • A pure mulberry silk pillowcase or pure mulberry silk bed sheet set helps naturally regulate body temperature.
