Everything below assumes you have a suitable and safe rigging point, like a professionally installed rigging point or a reputable and rated freestanding rig. Not every home/studio will be the same, so we cannot advise on this part. If you haven’t established a safe rigging point, please do this first with the help of a structural engineer/experienced rigger/professional familiar with what you're hanging and where you're hanging it.

Selvedge
Prodigy Multicolour silks are produced with tenter holes as part of their manufacture.
This allows the signature multicoloured patterns to be precisely printed onto the fabric.
These small holes at the edges of the fabric will curl out of view, and do not affect the strength, durability, or function of the fabric.

These are the first silks I've purchased. I train mostly on rope and so I was worried about the stretch and grip. I called Firetoys and spoke to a fabric technician. They kindly and patiently answered all of my questions and recommended these silks instead of the single colour silks. I couldn't be more happy with my purchase. The silks are low stretch with enough give for drops and they have excellent grip. Plus the ombre effect looks stunning in all kinds of shapes!
Absolutely love this colour. Just the right size. It is very low stretch. Not great for dynamics but awesome for everything else. I am the envy of the class with this gorgeous silk.
I loved the colour. A bit longer than I wanted, but great for a higher outdoor rig. This is more no stretch rather than low stretch.
Super helpful staff with safety at the forefront. Very happy with our purchases
I'm relatively new to silks (just seven months in) so haven't had much experience. These are lower stretch than the silks I practice on at the studio but I bought these for home use. My rigging point is not very high, so I wanted lower stretch so I could still practice smallish drops and feel safe in my estimates. Beyond happy with how they look!
Excellent!!!! The silk is amazing. It looks gorgeous and feels even better during the training. I was worried about grip when received, because the silk looked slippery. But grip is very good, just like written in the description. Perfect silk!
I bought these silks for myself and have been using them for a month now - they have a lovely colorful and somewhat sheer look and beautiful shine - they LOOK like they should be slippery in the hands but aren't! They have a great grip and a perfect amount of stretch for me. Also loving the width that adds to their range of uses, this would make a lovely hammock also.
Unfortunately, these silks we're not what was I was expecting. They are not low stretch at all, more like a medium and that's not what I was looking for. The color is beautiful and if you are interested in more stretch, then these are magical. I just wish the details were more honest about what you are getting.
Note from Firetoys: compared to Firetoys silks, which is our standard medium stretch, these are low stretch fabrics. There are other fabrics used for aerial with almost no stretch, which are more commonly used in the USA, and compared to those these do have more stretch.
These silks are stunning. They look awesome on photographs, and are perfect for beginners as low stretch. I bought the 10m for my xpole a frame in the blue ombre and I couldn't be happier. Already planning on buying my next colour
These silks are stunning! But not only that, they are also awesome to use! They have a perfect amount of stretch and grip. What's also really useful is the colour fade - it helps you find the edge of the silk really quickly. This is useful for training/saving energy and for performing :) couldn't be happier with them.
