Also known as "China Silk", these lightweight and breezy blank Habotai scarves are the most popular for dyeing and painting, probably because they are the most economical of all the silks. That also makes these very popular with teachers for class projects, Mother's day gifts, etc. Silk painting instructors often choose these for their student's first projects. The price is right for big fund raisers too! They make the perfect weight scarf for summer wear. "Playsilks" are very popular with the kids right now, and these are what are usually used. These have hand rolled hems with 100% silk thread. Ready to dye and paint!

We recommend, especially if you are re-selling, to pre-wash in Hot water and Synthrapol or our Professional Textile Detergent, all silk before dyeing or painting to remove any leftover residue from the silk worms (Seracin) or finger prints and other stuff that can cause the fabric to dye unevenly. Our product Milsoft is excellent for restoring the soft hand to silk after dyeing.

This fabric is beautiful. It's so sheer you can see through it. It drapes, flows, gleams, and is in all ways beautiful and just what the mind pictures when you say "silk scarf". The hems are nicely finished and held up well to its first washing.

These are great when you think how inexpensive they are! I think I have had one with poly thread once, the rest have been fine. And when you consider the hemming is done by hand, I can't complain about that either! These take the dye beautifully, and if you follow that old adage "you get what you pay for", I get more than I pay for with Dharma's habotai scarves! My students love them too.

Beautiful fabric with occasional flaws. Hems often come out and must be repaired. Also, too many hems are sewn with all or partial polyester thread. If you're working with fiber reactive dyes, the poly thread means you've wasted both time and materials working with these scarves.

Product Review:
This product (2008) is not up to professional standards. Many breaks in the hems after one washing and worst of all, the hem thread is not silk and will not dye with french or jacquard silk dyes but stays white. Very disappointing and $ lost.

I have ordered many of these silks for dyeing (with the silk thread for hems) and they've been great to work with. I'm pretty hard on them to dye them and they seem to hold up beautifully. I can't speak for long term use as I dye these and then they're out of my hands lol BUT from what I can tell - they're wonderful.
