4 Ply Silks


Description

Four ply silk is a heavier version of silk crepe made with four ply yarn. A four ply yarn is made from twisting together four individual yarn strands. The resulting fabric is medium to heavy weight, smooth and flat, with a crepe finish and a good deal of lustre. The fabric tailors and drapes beautifully and is a favorite for bridal usage.

General Uses

4 ply silks are most frequently used for bridal gowns, semi fitted garments, dresses and suits. Fabric sews easily, but shows pin holes and ravels fairly easily. We also have a 45 mm (momme) thick 4 ply silk that is the Cadillac of silks.

Fabric Care

Washable, but dry cleaning is recommended for plaid, jacquard, iridescent or printed versions. Note: pre-made 4 ply silk garments most likely have not been washed and may pucker if laundered. Best to Dry Clean off-the-rack items, or wash with extreme care. Click on the fabric care buttons to the left for more information on washing four ply silks.
