2. Tsumugi (cloth) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsumugi_(cloth)

   It is a tabby weave material woven from yarn produced using silk noil, short-staple silk fibre (as opposed to material produced using longer, filament yarn silk fibres). The short silk fibres are degummed [1] and, traditionally, the yarns are hand-joined to form a continuous length before weaving, [2] a technique also used for cheaper bast fibres.

3. Noil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noil

   Silk noil is also called "raw silk", although this is a misnomer. Silk noil may also be made from the short fibres taken from silkworm cocoons – either fibres that are naturally shorter or fibres broken by emerging silk moths. Rather than the continuous filament length of silk, shorter fibers are silk noil, which has a slightly rough texture.

   One momme = 4.340 g/m 2; 8 mommes is approximately 1 ounce per square yard or 35 g/m 2. The momme is based on the standard width of silk of 45 inches (1.1 m) wide (though silk is regularly produced in 55-inch (1.4 m) widths and uncommonly in larger widths). The usual range of momme weight for different weaves of silk are: Habutai—5 to 16 mm

6. Weighted silk - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighted_silk

   Unlike most fabric/yard goods which are sold by the yard (or metre), silk is sold to the wholesaler by weight; however, as the first step in processing silk fibre is to "degum" it - removing the sericin from the fibre, a protein naturally produced by silkworms that coats silkworm cocoons - approximately one-fifth of the weight of silk fibre is lost, representing a significant drop in the ...
