Bought this for the Daughter to do aerial silks with.its a really good silk, and the mounting kit it comes with is good, although she did moan that it did not come with the right figure of 8.we dont use the ceiling mounts as we have an A frame to hang it from.there is some stretch in the silk to start with, but that does improve the more you use it. its great it comes in its own carry bag, as she does take it to her class as well as use it at home. overall its a really good silk at a great price, shame they dont do other colours like other suppliers (although they charge a hefty premium for that).
