The not so boring details Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified, class I – Our Playsilks carry one of the world’s best known labels for textiles tested for harmful substances, and are certified harmless for human health. 100% Mulberry silk – The highest and finest quality of silk available on the market. The name “mulberry” comes from the food that the silkworm eats. Mulberry silk threads are the best in the world. They are stronger, smoother, and more uniformly coloured than other varieties, resulting in more beautiful vibrant colours, and stronger finished products. 6A Grade – Silk is graded A, B, or C quality with A being the highest and purest. The threads have a pearlized white colour and its strands are long and very strong when compared to the lower quality varieties. Grade A silk is further divided into A, A2, A3, A4, A5, and A6, with A6 being the absolute highest quality available. We are proud to offer you 6A grade playsilks. 8 Momme – Momme (mm) is a unit traditionally used to measure the weight of silk fabrics. We have chosen 8 momme as the perfect weight for our playsilks as it gives them strength yet maintains the desired lightness and sheer. Silk Habotai – The actual type of silk fabric we offer, habotai is a plain weave silk that’s renowned for its light weight, sheen, and softness. It is traditionally used to make kimonos and nowadays is also commonly used for various other garments. SIZE 43 inches by 60 inches Care Instructions
