The Atelier Glossary: A Heritage in Fibre
8 Momme Mulberry Silk Organza
The Momme (mm) is the traditional measure of silk’s soul. Our 8mm organza is a gossamer-light, professional-grade canvas chosen for its ethereal transparency and surprising strength—the perfect foundation for fine-art embroidery.
Pure Mulberry Silk Thread
Harvested from the mulberry groves, these threads possess a natural, triangular prism-like structure. This reflects light at multidimensional angles, creating the 'living shimmer' unique to authentic silk art.
Double-Mercerized Rosace
For our Essential Collection, we select Rosace cotton for its long-staple fibres and double-mercerization. This process removes surface fuzz for a silken, pill-free finish that mimics the lustre of silk with the resilience of cotton.
The Artisanal Legacy
Su Xiu (Suzhou Embroidery)
Originating from the 'City of Silk,' Su Xiu is a 2,500-year-old needle-painting technique. Celebrated for its 'thinness, denseness, and elegance,' it uses threads so fine they create a life-like, painterly effect that transcends the fabric.
Ronghua & ChanHua
These traditional 'Velvet' and 'Wrapped' silk arts transform flat fibres into three-dimensional sculptures. We are proud to bring these mesmerizing heritage crafts—once reserved for royalty—to the modern maker.
