Silk Dupion:
Dupion (also referred to as Douppioni or
Dupioni) is a plain weave crisp type of silk fabric, produced by using fine
thread in the warp and uneven thread reeled from two or more entangled cocoons
in the weft. This creates tightly-woven yardage with a highly-lustrous
surface.It is sometimes confused with 'shantung' or 'raw silk' which is usually
lighter in weight and has a finer weave than dupion.
