Description
Shot silk dupioni fabric is a shiny two-tone, subtly textured, crisp fabric made from high-quality silk produced by mulberry-fed silkworms. The term “mulberry silk” refers to silk produced by silkworms that are carefully cultivated and fed a diet of mulberry leaves, resulting in fine, smooth silk fibers. These silk fibers are spun into yarns with a characteristic slubbed texture and woven using a plain weave. This simple one-over-one construction gives silk dupioni fabric its crisp texture and excellent shape-holding characteristics. Shot silk dupioni fabrics are available in iridescent designs, which are created by weaving together differently colored warp and weft threads.
This silk dupioni fabric measures 53/54 inches wide, is 0.30 millimeters thick, has a 110 GSM, weighs approximately 5.2 ounces per linear yard, and has a 35 momme rating.
Use silk dupioni fabric to create stylish apparel and décor. Sew elegant jackets, blouses, and bridalwear with this fabric. Additionally, create décor for your space such as table covers and table runners.
