Pure Silk

Momme (mm) is the traditional unit of silk weight — one momme is roughly 4.34 grams per square metre. Fabloom silks run from about 12 to 16 momme: 12 to 14 momme is fluid and suits shirting, scarves and linings, while 16 momme and above holds a shape well enough for structured garments and furnishing.

Bhagalpur silk is woven from tussar and mulberry yarn that keeps its natural irregularity, giving the cloth a fine slub and a matte-to-lustrous depth that flat power-loom silk does not have. Bhagalpur has been known as India's Silk City for over a century, and Fabloom weaves on traditional handlooms within that cluster.

Dry clean pure silk for the first wash, then hand wash in cold water with a mild pH-neutral detergent if you wash it at home. Do not wring, bleach or dry in direct sunlight, and press on the reverse at a low setting while slightly damp. Always test on a sample before washing a full piece.

No. Tussar is a wild silk with a natural golden tone, a coarser and more textured hand, and a slub running through it; mulberry silk is cultivated, smoother, whiter in its raw state and takes dye more evenly. Fabloom supplies both, and tussar is the yarn most associated with Bhagalpur.

The minimum order is 50 metres per design and colour on woven fabric, because a shorter length cannot be cut from the loom lot. Printed fabric is a different case: block print and digital print are both applied to cloth that is already woven, so they are supplied from 5 metres.

Yes. Fabloom weaves, dyes, prints and finishes in its own unit at Mohiuddin Pur, Bhagalpur, Bihar. There is no trading middleman between the loom and the order, which is why custom shades and prints can be run against a single buyer's specification.

Yes. Request a physical swatch through the enquiry form before committing to a bulk order. This is strongly recommended when an exact shade matters, because screen colour and dye lots both vary and a small difference between the photograph and the delivered cloth is normal for hand-dyed fabric.
