100% Silk Paj Fabric – Ultra Light Weight 5 Momme

Experience the ethereal delicacy of our 100% Silk Paj Fabric, also known as Pongee or China Silk. This ultra-light 5 momme silk has a smooth texture, soft drape, and elegant semi-sheer finish. It’s a favourite among textile artists because it feels weightless yet strong. Moreover, its gentle shine and natural flow make it ideal for layering, transparency, and soft movement in textile art.

Why Choose 100% Silk Paj Fabric for Natural Dyeing

Our Silk Paj Fabric is the perfect choice for natural dyeing and eco leaf printing. Because of its smooth plain weave, it absorbs plant-based pigments and botanical dyes beautifully. As a result, each print reveals fine detail and subtle colour variation. The 5 momme weight enhances clarity when working with leaves, petals, and flowers, while the soft off-white tone provides a clean base for dyeing and over-printing.

In addition, this fabric pairs wonderfully with sustainable dye methods. It’s the ideal foundation for artists who value natural colour and eco-conscious textile processes.

Ideal for Nuno Felting and Layered Textile Art

The sheer, supple nature of 100% Silk Paj Fabric makes it perfect for Nuno felting. It bonds easily with wool fibres, creating a soft shimmer and a distinctive surface texture. Furthermore, its lightweight structure allows for intricate layering and transparency, giving felted artworks beautiful depth and light reflection.

Because it’s so fine, this silk also works well for experimental surface design. For example, you can combine it with fibres, yarns, or natural embellishments to achieve one-of-a-kind artistic effects.
