What is momme?

Momme is the standard unit that is used to measure silk weight and quality.

Similar to thread count, the higher the momme, the denser and more durable the silk weave will be to withstand all those laundry washes and night rests.

What is the Range of Momme Weight that is Available?

Momme ranges from a minimum weight of 6 momme to a maximum weight of 30 momme. The higher the momme, the heavier and more durable the silk will be.

MYK Silk offers a collection of 19 momme to 30 momme silk products and will always stay true to the momme count.

19 Momme vs. 25 Momme

Both 19 momme and 25 momme are durable in multiple washes, but which one is better? 19 momme is the usual count many people get because it’s more affordable while having all the great qualities of silk fabrics. However, if you run your fingers through 19 momme silk and 25 momme silk, you can feel a difference. The 25 momme silk will feel thicker and look much more luxurious while still being genuinely soft. Higher momme silk also has a shinier appearance at first glance.
