Versatile, durable and eco-friendly, children will be inspired by the naturally soft material and gorgeous color palettes.

Made with 8mm Habotai 100% silk scarves.
Large silks measure approximately 35 x 35 inches with hand-rolled or machine sewn hems. Silk sets will be either style of finish. Please message prior to purchase if you would prefer rolled or machine sewn hems or would like to see an example of the different hems. Measurements are industry standard prior to being dyed; due to being hand cut and the heat of the dyebath some variation is possible.
All silks are hand-dyed in small batches with professional, permanent, non-toxic colorfast dyes for long lasting and vibrant colors. Slight mottling and variations possible due to the natural dye methods. Colors may vary from those pictured.
If silks become soiled, please hand wash separately in cool or lukewarm water and hang/dry flat for best results. Or you may machine wash on the gentle cycle in cool water and with a mild detergent. Dyes have been color fixed but in rare instances may bleed slightly at first wash (especially the blues and greens- wash individually for best results).
*Contact me for any out of stock colors, custom orders or shipping estimates if ordering multiple sets. These are dyed in limited numbers and may sell out fast!
A note about tags: You may notice most silks have small white tags stating they are 100% China silk. These tags are lightly stitched on (just a couple loose threads) so they can be easily removed by the purchaser. Many come off in the dye bath and if they are loose I may snip them off (possibly leaving a few spare threads). On any being enjoyed by small children (mini sets especially), I recommend removing the tags first. As with any new toys please use with supervision.
