| Fabric | Weight | Feel | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|

| Mulberry Silk Habotai | ~9 momme | Very light, soft, and airy, with a subtle sheen. It drapes easily and flows with movement. | Warm weather, layering, and loose, flowing looks. (Scarves) |
| Silk Satin | ~20 momme | Glossy, smooth, and luxurious, with a heavier drape and a rich sheen on the face. | Statement bandanas and head wraps, where the shine stands out. (Bandanas) |
| Lightweight Silk Satin | ~11.5 momme | Soft and silky with a gentle shine, lighter and more fluid than standard satin. | Elegant neck scarves that drape without feeling heavy. (Scarves) |
