Our playsilks are made of 100% real mulberry habotai silk. We chose the highest grade of silk available, 6A, and a thickness of 8 momme to balance lightness and strength. Whimsical Things Playsilks come generously sized at 43” by 60”, so your child’s imagination can go even further during playtime.
Playsilks are an incredible gift for children and adults of all abilities. They stimulate the brain through gentle sensory tactile input and are excellent to support the development of object permanence, motor planning, and sensory integration.
Playsilks are anything your child wants them to be! A cape, an ocean, an invisibility cloak, a blanket, a roof, the options are endless.
Give wings to your child’s imagination with Whimsical Things Playsilks!
The not so boring details
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.
