Dream Drapes carries two different styles of raw silk fabrics, Matka and Katan. Matka, also referred to as raw silk and silk linen, is a more casual silk than taffeta and dupioni without the iridescence. It is a rough handloomed 100% silk fabric made from thick yarns that include slubs and irregularities that give the fabric a unique character. Resembling tweed in texture, Matka has a much more pronounced knubby weave than KatanMatka has a very soft hand (feel) with a very natural, organic look. Matka fabric drapes beautifully and is the choice of customers interested in a less formal look. 

Katan is a variation of a Matka silk. It too is 100% raw silk, also referred to as silk linen. The difference between Katan and Matka fabric is that Katan fabric has a softer hand with a less-pronounced, finer weave with less slubs than Matka. In some cases, due to color variations in the yarn, the Katan has subtle striations running horizontally in the fabric.  

Swatches are $1.00 each and will be charged to your credit card upon placing your swatch order.
