Q. Is Mysore silk and crepe silk same?

Answer

One of the types of silk that is put to the most widespread usage throughout India is the Mysore silk crepe, which is fashioned from hardspun silk yarn. It wasn't until the year 1785 when crepe de chine made of silk was first mentioned in writing. There is no puckered surface in the Silk crepe de Chine fabric that is found to be distinctive of other crêpes. Here, coming to the silk fabric, it has got a matte finish which is very smooth. Regarding the plain weave pattern, the style may be obtained with the employment of yarns and that too with a tight twist that are used for the weft threads.
