True to its name, the fabric has the delicate rustle and structured lightness of paper, yet the softness and natural sheen of silk — a rare and highly sought-after combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike soft, fluid silks, paper silk is prized for its sculptural quality. It holds shape beautifully, allowing it to be pleated, folded, or draped into architectural silhouettes that float away from the body. The surface has a subtle, dry luster rather than a glossy shine, giving it a refined, almost parchment-like elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWoven entirely by hand on traditional looms, the silk retains gentle irregularities in yarn thickness and tension, giving the cloth a living, artisanal character. The weave is tight but breathable, allowing the fabric to remain feather-light while still feeling crisp and controlled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt just 70 GSM, this is an ultra-lightweight luxury textile, ideal for designers and makers who work with volume, layering, and movement rather than weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect for couture garments, statement dresses, pleated skirts, overlays, scarves, experimental silhouettes, bridal layers, and contemporary textile art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFiber Content: 100% Mulberry Silk\u003cbr\u003e\nWeave: Handwoven plain weave\u003cbr\u003e\nWidth: 44 inches\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 70 GSM (ultra-lightweight)\u003cbr\u003e\nFinish: Natural paper-crisp texture\u003cbr\u003e\nSurface: Matte-sheen, softly luminous\u003cbr\u003e\nOpacity: Semi-sheer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHandfeel \u0026amp; Drape\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHandfeel: Crisp, airy, and dry with a papery silk touch\u003cbr\u003e\nDrape: Structured and floaty — holds pleats and volume beautifully\u003cbr\u003e\nTexture: Smooth with subtle handwoven irregularities\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhy is this silk special?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIndian paper silk is not washed, softened, or mechanically finished. Its distinctive crispness comes from the way the silk filaments are spun and woven, preserving their natural structure. This allows the fabric to behave more like a sculptural textile than a fluid drape silk — perfect for designers seeking form, lightness, and elegance in equal measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach length carries the marks of hand weaving, giving it depth, individuality, and a level of refinement that machine-made silks cannot replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ZAN ","offers":[{"title":"1\/2 yard","offer_id":43038340415601,"sku":"750","price":28.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 yard","offer_id":43038340448369,"sku":"750","price":51.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 yards","offer_id":43038340481137,"sku":"750","price":147.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 yards","offer_id":43038340513905,"sku":"750","price":241.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 yards","offer_id":43038340546673,"sku":"750","price":454.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/5334\/7953\/files\/4_427d2721-8084-486f-85b6-c10cb1c7a969.jpg?v=1781172927","url":"https:\/\/zantextiles.com\/es\/products\/handwoven-mulberry-paper-silk-fabric-by-the-yard-70-gsm-44-wide","provider":"ZAN ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
