Which momme is right for me?
Here at Yasha Silk we offer Grade 6A mulberry silk with a charmeuse weave in 19, 22 and 30 momme. We understand that choosing the right one for your needs can be perplexing. To simplify your selection process, we’ve crafted an informative blog that delves into the unique characteristics of each momme, helping you make an informed choice.
What does momme mean?
Momme (pronounced ‘mom-ee’) is a Japanese term used as a unit of weight measurement specifically for genuine silk. It is often abbreviated as ‘mm’ and is defined as the weight in pounds of a piece of fabric that measures 45 inches in width by 100 yards in length. To put this in perspective, that’s approximately the length of a football field!
In terms more closely related to the size of sheets, one momme translates to roughly 4.340 grams per square meter. For instance, eight momme fabric weighs about 1 ounce per square yard or 35 grams per square meter.
The momme value is indicative of the fabric’s weight and density. During the silk production process, the density and yarn count of the silk thread are adjusted by the silk factory to control the fabric’s weight, or momme. For instance, a 30 momme charmeuse pillowcase would have the silk fibers woven closer together in the weft and warp compared to a 19 momme charmeuse pillowcase. Additionally, higher momme silk fabrics are made using thicker yarn. In this regard, momme is akin to thread count, a common measurement used for assessing the quality of cotton sheets.

Silk General Questions
Can I machine wash my silk?
Yes, you can.
Use cold water and select the gentle cycle on your washing machine.
Avoid using bleach or fabric softener during the wash.
After washing, opt for air-drying by hanging the silk items on a line.
If you need to use a dryer, ensure it’s set to a no-heat or delicate setting.
Can I hand wash my silk?
Absolutely! While all our silk sheets and pillowcases at Yasha Silk can be safely machine washed, opting for hand washing your silk pillowcase is an excellent choice. It’s a quick and easy method that ensures extra care and protection, preventing any potential damage that can occur in a washing machine

Should I dry clean my silk?
No need for dry cleaning; our silk is perfectly suited for both machine and hand washing.
Can I wash my silk with Woolite?
Unfortunately, we we do not recommend Woolite.
While Woolite has been a trailblazer in the realm of affordable gentle detergents, it’s important to consider that as time goes on, the abrasive elements in Woolite may not be the optimal choice for delicate silk fabrics.
