Mi-Cuit Silk

MI-CUIT SILK

This term, a French word meaning " half-baked," is applied to silks from which the gum has been boiled-off to an extent about midway between the complete or " bright " boiling-off, and the " souple " or part boiling-off. The Mi-cuit boiling-off is not an exact, or fixed proportion, but varies according to how much or how little brilliancy is required.
