Noil
Noil silk has a nubby feel and has a low sheen. This fabric somewhat resembles cotton in surface texture, but has the soft feel of silk against the skin. It also drapes better than cotton and resists wrinkling. The nubby texture of noil comes from the use of very short fibers, appropriately called 'silk noils'. When these short fibers are spun into yarns, the resulting yarns have occasional slubs and loose ends.

Matka
Matka is a heavy weight silk fabric made from very thick yarns. The yarns are obtained from short ends of silk from Mulberry silkworms and spun by hand without removing the gum (sericin). As such, there are slubs and irregularities that give the fabric a unique character. It looks something like a tweed, but the fibers are all the same color. Matka is sews easily & good for suits and jackets.

Tussar
Tussah (also Tussar) is a medium to heavy weight silk made from the cocoons of wild tussah silk worms. The warp and weft yarns are very different, giving tussah the look of woven grasses. Tussah is almost always a natural brown color, but it does dye well. Good for suits and jackets, and home decoration.

Chiffon
Chiffon is elegant and sheer, with a very slightly rough feel to it. Chiffon is lightweight but strong. Chiffon is softer and thinner than Georgette, sometimes called 'Crepe Chiffon'. Georgette is made like chiffon, but a two or three ply yarn is used.
