What Does 6A, 22-Momme, and 100% Mulberry Silk Really Mean?

Shopping for silk can feel overwhelming. Terms like 6A silk, 22 momme, and 100% mulberry silk can be confusing if you're unfamiliar. But understanding them is essential for choosing high-quality silk bedding, pillowcases, or apparel. At TOWNSSILK, we're committed to full transparency so you can make informed decisions based on real material standards.

What is 6A Grade Silk?

Silk is graded by quality using a letter and number system, with 6A being the highest grade commercially available. It means the silk fibers are longer, cleaner, and stronger, creating a smoother and more durable fabric. Though not an ISO-certified international standard, 6A silk is widely recognized by premium silk manufacturers around the world.

At TOWNSSILK, we use 6A grade silk to ensure unmatched softness, strength, and visual elegance in every product.

Why 22 Momme is the Sweet Spot

Momme is a unit used to measure the weight and density of silk. The higher the momme, the heavier and more durable the fabric. But higher isn't always better—different momme weights serve different purposes.

• 19 Momme: Lightweight and breathable—ideal for summer clothing or accessories.
• 22 Momme: Perfect for pillowcases, bedding, and sleepwear—balances softness and durability.
• 25 Momme: Dense and heavy, best for structured pieces like curtains or formalwear.

Our 22 momme silk is crafted specifically for comfort and resilience, making it ideal for everyday luxury.

What Does 100% Mulberry Silk Mean?

Mulberry silk comes from silkworms fed exclusively on mulberry leaves. It's the softest and strongest natural silk available for textiles. "100%" means the fabric contains only pure mulberry silk, with no synthetic blends or lower-grade substitutes.

100% Mulberry Silk ensures maximum breathability, moisture retention, and hypoallergenic properties—ideal for sensitive skin and nightly use.
