Silk shantung is known for its distinctive natural texture, which includes slight irregularities and slubs that create a unique, raw, and organic appearance. This texture results from the way the silk threads are woven, typically using fibers from wild or “tussah” silkworms that produce a coarser silk. Key features of silk shantung’s texture are:
• Slubs: These are small, uneven lumps within the fabric that give it a slightly bumpy texture. They’re often randomly dispersed and add a touch of rustic elegance.
• Sheen: Despite its texture, silk shantung retains a subtle luster. This sheen is softer and less reflective compared to more polished silks, adding to its refined, natural look.
• Crispness: The weave and raw silk fibers give shantung a slightly stiff, crisp feel, which holds its shape well.
