Silk-- the most beautiful of all textile fibers!

Attached to Baby has a large selection of silk baby slings from manufacturers such as TaylorMade, ZoloWear, and our favorite--Sakura Bloom. Many people are surprised to hear that silk is the perfect material for a baby sling. It is strong, supportive, soft and comfortable against baby's skin. It can be dressed up or down, worn with everything from jeans to a cocktail dress.

Silk comes from the cocoon of the silk worm and requires a great deal of handling and processing, which makes it one of the most expensive fibers. Silk takes well to dyes, resulting in colorful fabrics. It has a soft feel and retains it shape well, even after being stretched. Silk has a sheen and luminosity that makes it look luxurious. It is light in weight, and can easily be folded. Silk tends to fall naturally and hang delicately. Silk has high tensile strength, its fibers aren't easily torn or damaged. It is an elastic material that can be stretched and then will recover to its original size. A single layer of silk keeps you cool in the summer, and our two layer silk slings will provide surprising warmth in the winter. Silk can absorb a fairly significant amount of moisture before it feels wet, which makes it perfect for use around babies! All of our silk baby slings can be machine washed.
