The Different Types of Silk Fabric
The softest of the natural fibers, most of the silk used today comes from silkworms that are cultivated and grown in an environment that is controlled. The raw silk is processed into different types of silk fabrics. However, each one has the luxurious feel and somewhat iridescent sheen that makes silk a favorite fabric of women around the world.
The following are the different types of silk fabric.
- Charmeuse is the fabric we usually think of when it comes to silk. It has a beautiful shimmery front side and back that is flattened crepe.
- Chiffon has the lightest weight of all the silk fabrics. It is very sheer and billowy.
- China Silk is sometimes called pongee, habutai or habotai. This silk fabric is sheer and lightweight with a plain weave. It is one of the more common silks and is generally less expensive.
- Crepe de Chine is a silk fabric made from twisting the silk fibers in opposite directions. This gives the fabric its distinctive bumpy feel and look.
- Jacquard silk has the effect of patterns of light and dark. This is caused by using reflective and matte threads together.
- Noil silk is created using short silk fibers. These result in the fabric not having the sheen of silk. Noil silk resembles cotton but has the feel of silk.
