Hi everyone,

I've spent the past few days searching on the internet and I've been asking as 
many people as I met and still can't get the difference between silk shantung 
and silk dupioni. I often ask my sister in China to buy me some shantung, but 
once she gets a very fine fabric with almost no slubs and another day she gets 
one with a rougher texture and more visible slubs. I didn't know how to call 
these two, so I started to search for such sorts of silk fabric that would 
match the two fabrics, and I got shantung and dupioni. But alas, sources say 
different definitions, one says the contrary of the other, leaving me really 
puzzled... 

Does anyone know something about that? Pictures are really welcome...
