If I am placing an order from this page, what should I get for playsilks? I want to dye some, but I have no idea what is best. I'll be dying with Procion dyes.

I purchased a variety of sizes when I bought mine (from Thai Silks; same prices). I think the "standard" size if you were to buy them pre-dyed is often 35x35. But, the advantage of doing them yourself is that you can get a bunch of sizes for different imaginative items for a very low cost!

I used the 8mm habotai scarves - I got them in 30x30 - though I have heard that some older children like bigger scarves like 44x44 because they are easier to tie around the neck for capes etc - I found the smaller ones just right for DS right now but he is only 14 mo so we mostly play "peek" with them. I figured I could always make bigger ones later if I needed them
