What's the difference between machine woven and hand woven Thai silk?
Every piece of hand woven Thai silk is a timeless, unique work of art from the hands of a rural Thai woman. Since it is artwork produced by a human, it forever carries an imprint of the character, thoughts, emotions, feelings, spirit and life of the weaver at the time it was being created. It's “imperfections” are the heart of its beauty and the proof of its human creator. Machine-woven Thai silk fabric is up to 54 inches wide and a more “perfect”, mechanically-produced fabric. The price is higher but is more suitable for some purposes due to it's consistent weave and and substantially greater width. We wholesale machine-woven Thai silk fabric in lengths of thousands of meters.
