FLAG POI

Silk flag poi is a type of flag poi where the fabric is specifically made of silk or silk-like material. This type of poi is highly valued for its lightweight, soft, and flowing qualities, making it perfect for creating elegant and visually stunning movements.

Silk is naturally light and airy, which allows the flags to float gracefully and respond smoothly to the slightest motion, creating beautiful, fluid patterns in the air.

 Silk often takes dye exceptionally well, so silk flag poi frequently feature vibrant colors, tie-dye, or even ombre designs. The shimmering quality of silk enhances the colors, adding an extra dimension to the visual effect.

The softness of silk creates a more seamless and graceful motion. Unlike heavier fabrics, silk glides through the air without resistance, making movements look smooth, delicate, and almost dreamlike.

 Because silk catches the air so well, it creates dramatic shapes that seem to float or ripple in response to the performer’s movements. This effect is especially captivating in light breezes or with sudden changes in spinning speed.

Silk flag poi is popular in dance, fire spinning (without actual flames on the poi), and other flow arts because it lends an elegant, ethereal quality to performances. It's perfect for performers who want to emphasize grace, fluidity, and visual beauty in their routines.
