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.
