Sarah's Silks Playsilks are perfect for creative and open-ended play. A basket of coloured play silks is one of the best additions to a child’s playroom. It is amazing to see what children create with them: Some children make costumes like capes, skirts, pants, hats, veils, animal tails and more. The next day the same silks become green grass for their toy animals to live on, blue water to sail the boats, or a rainbow can appear in the sky above them. Many children wrap their dolls in them or tie them on as a sling to carry a favourite animal or doll around. They can be used to build forts with sofa cushions, for a puppet show curtain, and magic tricks. The possibilities are as unlimited as your child's imagination.

About Your Silk The silk used for Sarah's Silks is Habotai, also known as Mulberry Silk. It is considered the highest quality silk you can find. 100% pure Habotai silk is fine, light and airy. Natural imperfections in the weave, help prove the silks authenticity. Sarah's Silk Play Silks have a weight of 5 momme, which lets them flow and produces a light airy movement when used in play. The illustrated playsilks, dressups and toys use a heavier weight silk - 8 mommes, for extra durability. Did you know? Mulberry silk contains Sericin and Fibroin - natural proteins produced by the silk worm. These proteins are what makes silk hypo-allergenic, resistance to dust mites, anti-inflammatory, non-irritating and anti-bacterial. Playsilk Wash & Care Instructions Silk is a natural and delicate fabric. It is naturally resistant to dirt and odours, and it's natural anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties mean it doe not need to be washed too regularly. If you do need to wash your Sarah's Silk, we recommend handwashing with a mild detergent designed for silk - or just use cool water. Drip dry and be aware that silk looses strength when wet, so dry carefully and do not wring, spin, or agitate. Wet silk is only 80% as strong as dry silk!
