[Fullam, Mary E.]

There's a unit of measure called a 'momme' which designates the weight
of silk fabric; the higher the number, the heavier the weight.  Dharma
has an explanation of it here:

Fabric.net has tables that I refer to periodically, broken down by fiber
content and then the types of weaves associated with that fiber:
 
http://www.fabrics.net/weaves.asp    
 
As for the historical terms and how they vary just through out period,
well, that's a whole 'nother ball of wax.  I don't know of anything
online in one website that would tell you what the names of all the
weaves were in period.

	Never heard of "MOMI" in regards to fabric, but I got a Google
hit of:  Museum of Moving Image.

	Also, try these fabric sites below.
