DUPION
This silk also known as Indian silk has a slubbed rib effect and has a stiff and rough surface (weave) - often used for home furnishings

NOIL
Silk noil is made from the short fibers left after combing and carding so it doesn't shine like many other silk fabrics. Noil looks similar to cotton, but has the soft feel of silk against the skin. It also drapes better than cotton and resists wrinkling

JACQUARD
Jacquard silks offer various woven patterns, using matt and reflective threads to create a light and dark effect in the fabric. This effect is similar to brocade, although the Jacquard is originally created in one colour

HABOTAI
Also known as China silk is a lightweight, sheer, plain-weave fabric sometimes called pongee. It is one of the less expensive and more commonly available silk fabrics

Habotai can be found as light as 5 momme and as heavy as 12 momme (weight) This silk is often used for dress lining and silk painting.

SILK SATIN
This silk is often confused with charmeuse because of its satin weave, but it does not have a crepe underside making it a much stiffer fabric.
