What are your playsilks made of?
Our playsilks are made of 100% natural mulberry silk. This fabric is known for its incredible strength, vibrant color retention, and beautifully fluid drape, making it perfect for open-ended play.
Are the dyes used on the playsilks safe?
Absolutely. We use professional-grade, non-toxic acid dyes that are safe for children and the environment when used as directed. The dyeing process ensures the color is locked into the silk fiber. While the dyes are non-toxic, we recommend that playsilks not be put in the mouth, especially for very young children.
How should I clean my playsilks?
Playsilks are very easy to care for. We recommend hand washing them in cool water with a mild soap or a very small amount of gentle detergent. Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals. To dry, simply lay them flat or hang them. They dry quickly. A quick iron on a low setting can restore their beautiful sheen if desired.
What is the best size for a beginner playsilk?
For a first playsilk, we often recommend a medium size, such as our 36″ x 36″ square. This size is wonderfully versatile for a wide range of imaginative play, from capes and veils to small landscapes. However, the best size depends on the child’s interests.
Are Sarah’s Silks fair trade?
We are committed to ethical and sustainable practices. We work directly with our manufacturing partners to ensure fair wages and safe working conditions throughout our supply chain.
What is the best age for playsilks?
Playsilks are fantastic for children of all ages! For infants, they are a wonderful visual and tactile sensory item. Toddlers and preschoolers use them extensively for dress-up and imaginative scenarios. School-aged children continue to use them for complex play, crafts, and decorations. They are truly a toy that grows with the child.
My playsilk is fraying. Is this normal?
Yes, a small amount of fraying at the cut edges is completely normal for silk fabric and does not affect the durability or play value of the silk. The silk itself is very strong. If you prefer, you can carefully trim any loose threads with sharp scissors.
