Sarah's Silks Advent Playsilk Illustrated By Phoebe Wahl

It is a handmade silk cloth illustrated by Phoebe Wahl for Advent and Solstice celebrations. Children walk the printed spiral and carefully place a candle on the star they choose, making it part of a quiet seasonal ritual at home.

Young ones love following the spiral path across the cloth and setting a candle on a chosen star as the weeks of Advent pass. Many families lay it flat on a celebration table and add treasures and greenery around it.

The playsilk is coloured with non toxic, eco friendly dyes. Because each piece is dyed by hand, the shades can vary slightly from one silk to the next, which is a natural mark of the small batch handmade process.

Yes, it doubles beautifully as a wall hanging for your favourite winter holiday. Many people display it above a nature table or mantel during Advent, Christmas, and Solstice, then fold it away to bring out again year after year.

It is designed around Advent and Solstice celebrations, though families also bring it out for Christmas and other midwinter festivals. The candle and spiral theme suits any quiet seasonal table where you want a calm, hands on ritual for children.

The seasonal artwork comes from illustrator Phoebe Wahl. Her winter imagery gives the silk its storybook charm, and because it is handmade, tiny differences between pieces are expected and add to the character of each one.
