Fire Mecca aerial silks (also known as aerial ribbons, aerial silks, aerial tissues, fabric, ribbon, or tissu, depending on region) are incredibly strong with some give and flexibility. Aerial silks are 108 inches (~2.8 meters) wide, and gather well for the average adult. Perfect for your aerial endeavors!
The total length needed can be calculated by doubling the total rigging height, and adding two to three yards or meters.
Our aerial fabric silks are currently made of low-stretch nylon tricot. Linear length stretch is approximately 10 percent, and horizontal stretch is approximately 50 percent.
Need a custom color or width? Silks can be "stripped" to custom widths, but strength is reduced, and this option is recommended for professionals only. Contact us for availability.
See how to tie your silk on our
tutorials page.
Sold by the yard (0.91 meter).
Available to Bulk Members for Bulk pricing by the spool (~100 yards) for destinations in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. Bulk Members shipping to international destinations must contact us for pricing due to variable maximum shipping weights and container sizes.
