Silk Paj (also known as China Silk Lining) is a soft, glossy, very lightweight (4 momme) silk that is used to line finer garments. It is also great for silk painting, embroidery and needle punch or needle felting projects, as well as historical re-enactment costumes, since little has changed in its production over the centuries. 
 
'Momme' introduced by the Japanese, is a standard for measuring the density of silk fabric. The higher the momme, the tighter the weave, meaning more silk per square inch.
 
Our online fabrics are sold in half metre and 1 metre lengths. Note that as standard practice all multiples of the same fabric will be cut as one continuous length. 
 
For example if you order:  1 x 1 metre  AND  1 x Half metre of the same fabric you will receive a continuous uncut 1.5 metre length. 
 
Sample size: 10cm x 20cm 
 
We do our best to give an accurate representation of our fabrics online, however colours may vary slighty on each monitor, laptop, mobile browser or tablet. We recommend that you order fabric samples if necessary.

Manufacturers Washing Instructions: We recommend, especially if you are re-selling, to pre-wash in hot water before dyeing or painting to remove any leftover residue from the silk worms (Seracin) or finger prints and other stuff that can cause the fabric to dye unevenly. If painted/dyed follow instructions of paint/dyestuffs used for future washing.
