The colors and fabrics of these squares are beautiful and very similar to their pictures. Whether it's silk or not I can't tell, but the fabrics are woven (not printed) and resemble tie material. However, none of the ten tablets I ordered are 12.6 x 12.6 inches (32 cm x 32 cm), but about an inch smaller in both directions (11.75 x 11.75 inches or 30 cm x 30 cm) . The description says a 0.2-0.4 inch difference is allowable, but the actual squares are twice that size.
