Silk Twill is smooth, substantial, and beautifully responsive to color, silk twill is distinguished by its subtle diagonal weave and supple body. Sylvie Silk offers silk twill in 14.5 and 16 momme and 45″ and 54″ widths for scarves, apparel, accessories, and projects requiring more structure than very lightweight silks.
Silk twill is woven with a characteristic diagonal structure visible across the fabric surface. This construction gives the silk additional body and durability while preserving the softness and flexibility associated with silk.
Compared with charmeuse, twill generally has a more restrained sheen and greater structural presence.
Supple silk twill with a fine diagonal weave, refined luster, and versatile body.

Use a fine needle and test stitching before construction. The diagonal weave should also be considered when matching printed motifs or working with bias-cut components.
