Momie cloth

A pebble-surfaced crêpe structure made of any natural or synthetic yarns

Momie cloth is a pebble-surfaced crêpe structure made of any natural or synthetic yarns. Momie crepe is a light weight material made of cotton.^[1]^[2]

Weave

Momie cloth is made by using cotton, rayon, or silk in warp and wool in weft. It is woven with granite weave, also called Momie weave, that forms a crepe texture. The weave is tight and interlaced and warp and weft, both visible on the face in the shape of small and irregular pebbles.^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]

Use

The cloth is used for dresses, curtains, and upholstery. In the 1880s black colored Momie cloth made of cotton, silk, and wool blend was used for mourning.^[1]^[2]
