Selecting Silk with Intention: Fiber, Grade, and Momme

Mulberry silk is prized for its long, continuous filaments that deliver a smoother hand, fewer joins, and a luminous finish. Responsibly sourced, grade 6A mulberry offers superior strength and consistency. Tell us: do you prefer ultra-sleek charmeuse or a whisper-soft matte? Your tactile preference guides our bespoke recommendations.

Selecting Silk with Intention: Fiber, Grade, and Momme

Momme measures fabric density, shaping drape and durability. Think 19 momme for airy coolness, 22 for an elegant balance, and 25 for indulgent resilience. The right momme also affects color depth and wrinkle recovery. Share your climate and sleep style, and we’ll suggest a weight that feels like it was made just for you.

Measurements that Matter

We measure mattress depth, account for toppers, and build in a subtle allowance for silk’s graceful movement. Pre-washing our yardage stabilizes fit while preserving sheen. Share your mattress height and any quirky corners; we’ll advise whether gussets, reinforced pockets, or custom corner angles will cradle your bed perfectly.

Anatomy of a Fitted Sheet

Deep pockets, clean French seams, and 360-degree encased elastic keep everything anchored without strain. We align the warp for strength along stress points and use soft stay tape where corners flex most. Tell us if you toss and turn—there’s a tension strategy tailored for restless dreamers.

Crafting a Calming Palette

We begin with a mood journal: words like hush, ember, dawn guide our palette. Sample swatches sit beside your wall paint and flooring for a week, gathering daylight, twilight, and lamp glow. Share your three mood words and bedroom photos; we’ll curate a palette that breathes with your space.

In the Dye Studio

Small-batch dyeing lets us adjust tone with pH shifts and careful timing. We pre-wet, add dye gradually, and fix at low temperatures to safeguard fibers. Once, a splash of indigo met a warm grey by accident; the resulting smoky blue became a client’s forever color. Tell us your color serendipities.

Monograms and Motifs

Tone-on-tone monograms, crest-inspired embroidery, or botanically informed jacquards personalize your bedscape. We test satin stitches on scrap silk to perfect tension and sheen. Would your initials rest at the hem or whisper at the corner? Share placement ideas, and we’ll map mockups to your chosen weave and weight.

Stitching Excellence: Techniques That Endure

We use a Microtex 70/10 needle with fine silk or soft polyester thread to prevent puckering. Tension tests run on offcuts, and seams are pressed over a silk organza cloth. Have a favorite toolkit? Share it—our community loves debating thimbles, bobbins, and the perfect seam ripper for delicate correction.

Sourcing with Heart: Ethics, Traceability, and Craft

Our favorite mills are family-run, where cocoons are reeled with care and water is reused thoughtfully. We log lot numbers for transparency, so your bedding carries a provenance. Curious about the journey from mulberry leaf to filament? Ask, and we’ll share photos, maps, and the names behind your cloth.

Sourcing with Heart: Ethics, Traceability, and Craft

Labels like OEKO-TEX Standard 100 help ensure textiles are tested for harmful substances. We also review mill-specific safety and wastewater practices. Certifications are part of the picture; your questions complete it. Tell us what matters most—chemistry, labor, animal welfare—and we’ll align sourcing to your values.
