FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Are your scarves hand-painted?
Yes, every scarf is individually hand-painted by Tamara using professional silk dyes. Each one is unique, no two scarves are ever exactly the same.
What type of silk do you use?
All scarves are made from 100% pure silk, chosen for its natural shine, lightness, and beautiful drape.
I use two types of silk: Habotai 8 and Pongee 5.
Here’s a simple explanation of the difference between them:
Pongee 5: Light and very thin, with a soft, airy feel. It’s quite transparent and delicate, so it requires gentle handling.
Habotai 8 (also known as Pongee 9):
A medium-weight silk that’s smoother, denser, and more luxurious. It’s more durable and long-lasting, with a lovely natural sheen that makes it ideal for scarves.
How do I care for my silk scarf?
Gently hand wash in cool water with a drop of mild soap or baby shampoo. Rinse carefully, roll in a towel to remove excess water, and iron on the reverse side while still slightly damp, using a low heat setting for silk.
Will the colours fade over time?
No. The dyes are steam-fixed to make them permanent. With gentle care, your scarf will stay vibrant for many years.
Can I request a custom colour or design?
Yes! Custom orders are welcome. Please Get in Touch to discuss your preferred colours or theme.
Does the scarf come in a gift box?
Yes. Each scarf is carefully wrapped and presented in a beautiful gift box, making it ready to give as a special present.

What makes your scarves “Christian”?
Each design is inspired by a Bible verse or message of faith. The artwork is meant to encourage reflection, peace, and beauty, reminding you of God’s Word in your everyday life.
Do you include the Bible verse on the scarf?
Some scarves include the verse or a short phrase within the design, while others are inspired by a verse but keep the wording subtle or symbolic.
Can I request a custom design or verse?
Yes! You’re welcome to request a personalised colour palette, verse, or message. Each custom piece is designed and painted just for you.
Can I give a Christian silk scarf as a gift?
Absolutely. Each scarf makes a meaningful, faith-filled gift, perfect for birthdays, baptisms, confirmations, or as a comforting reminder of God’s love.
What’s included in the kit?
Each kit contains everything you need to paint on silk, a pre-outlined silk design, silk paints, brush, mixing palette, and easy step-by-step instructions.
How are the scarves made?
The scarf is pre-outlined with gutta, it means no drawing skills required.
Do I need any additional materials?
No, everything you need is included. You only need a small cup of water and some tissue or paper towel.

Absolutely. The kits are designed with beginners in mind and are perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy a relaxing, creative experience.

The kits are suitable for adults and older children under supervision, as they involve silk paints and fine brushwork.
How long does it take to complete a design?
Most designs can be completed in a few hours, making them ideal for a peaceful afternoon or weekend project.
Do I need to buy a frame to stretch the silk?
It’s not essential, but it can make painting easier if you have one.
- For the scarf kit, polyester wadding is included, so you don’t need a frame. The silk can be gently pinned onto the wadding to keep it in place while you paint.
- For other kits (like the stocking and 2026 calendar), each outlined silk panel comes pre-ironed on freezer paper to keep it flat and stable, so there’s no need for a frame.
