<h1>Design vocabulary</h1>
<p>Understanding the language of silk is not a luxury—it is a necessity. For a buyer navigating the precise, uncompromising world of curated silk, terminology defines clarity. These terms are not abstractions; they are the bones of the material, the grammar of its presence. To know them is to see what others cannot, to cut through the noise of decoration and find the truth of the weave.</p>
<h2>Loom State</h2>
<ul>
<li><p>The condition of the silk immediately after weaving, before any finishing processes are applied. In product, a loom state might reveal a raw, matte surface that contrasts sharply with the polished sheen of a finished roll.</p></li>
</ul>
<h2>Sheen</h2>
<ul>
<li><p>The reflective quality of a silk’s surface, determined by the fiber’s cut and the weave’s density. In product, a high-sheen silk can act as a mirror to light, transforming a room’s atmosphere with each shift in illumination.</p></li>
</ul>
<h2>Warp and Weft</h2>
<ul>
<li><p>The two sets of threads in a woven fabric: warp (vertical) and weft (horizontal). In product, the tension between warp and weft dictates the silk’s rigidity or fluidity, influencing how it interacts with light and shadow.</p></li>
</ul>
