19 vs 22 Momme

19 vs 22 Momme — Which Silk is Right for You?

At Amora Silk, we offer two momme weights: 19 and 22. Both are made from 100% Mulberry Silk and deliver the smooth, soft surface that silk is known for. The difference lies in weight, density and feel.

What is Momme?

Momme (mm) is a traditional unit used to describe the weight of silk fabric. A higher momme generally indicates that more silk is used per area of fabric, resulting in a denser and more substantial feel.

19 Momme

19 Momme silk has a lightweight, smooth and soft feel. It offers the luxurious surface silk is known for while feeling slightly lighter and more delicate than 22 Momme.

22 Momme

22 Momme silk has a denser, more substantial feel. The higher silk weight gives the fabric a slightly heavier and more luxurious hand feel, while retaining the smooth surface associated with silk.

Which Should You Choose?

Both options are made from 100% Mulberry Silk and offer a smooth, soft surface. The best choice comes down to personal preference: choose 19 Momme if you prefer a lighter feel, or 22 Momme if you prefer a denser, more substantial feel.
