What’s more dreamy than a flowing silk tutu to dance around the room in? These lovely silk skirts from Sarah’s Silks are double layered silk and an elastic waist. Laugh and play as your children wear them on their waists, or as a top, or even on their heads! Beautifully made with hand-dyed silk with a lovely drape effect.
Sarah’s Silks makes some of the finest Waldorf inspired toys for children. Family owned, Sarah’s Silks employs seamstresses, craftspeople, and farms in China who have long specialized in the Habotai silks. All of the playsilks are a light and airy 5mm weight, and the other silk toys are 8mm, which is a little heavier.
Washing the playsilks is easy and makes for a fun activity for kids. Simply hand wash in the sink or a basin with warm water and mild shampoo or dish soap. It’s best to wash dark silks separately from light silks. Get them nice and soapy, then rinse until the water runs clear. Hang the wet silk to dry on a clothesline and you may choose to iron on medium to restore the shine once dry. Wet silk looks pretty and feels interesting and most children enjoy the process of washing the playsilks.
