A voluminous, warm, large stole made of 100% natural fibers with a firm texture is now available! Dyed with fushi (Japanese gallnuts), it has a soft, elegant, and gentle color like a firefly blur. Fushi is: A gall formed by insects on the leaves of the sumac tree. It was boiled and the extract was taken, and then dyed with a second infusion. The second infusion removes impurities and gives a refined color. For Buddhist affairs, I wear a plain kimono dyed with fushi. It's a color that matches both Japanese and Western clothing. Dyed with only natural materials, with 100% natural pigments, I believe this stole has a three-dimensional and powerful color that cannot be achieved with chemical dyes. The material is: Warp: 100% wild Eri silk Weft: 100% merino wool With 100% wool, there is a possibility of damage from insect bites. By using wild silk, it is resistant to insect bites, and it has become a stole with a firm texture. It's a stole that you can continue to use for 10, 20 years to come, even when your hair turns white. Because it's not 100% woolen fabric, by using wild Eri silk (ahimsa silk) for the warp, it has a surprising toughness that repels dirt. Ahimsa means "non-violence" in Sanskrit. General silk is made by boiling, drying, or freezing the pupae in the cocoons to obtain the thread. Ahimsa silk is made by taking the thread after the pupae have become adults and eaten their way out of the cocoons. Because there is a hole in the cocoon, a single long thread cannot be obtained, and it is a thread of raw silk, but it is carefully made in a way that respects nature and life. Eri silkworms are hardy silkworms that grow in the forests of India, exposed to wind, rain, and predators. Compared to domestic silkworm silk, it has significantly higher antibacterial and deodorizing effects. The fluffiness unique to hand-spinning also exhibits a natural water-repellent effect, making it a strong ally on rainy days! Differences in dyeing can also be seen due to individual differences in the silkworms. Please try using this combination stole of such unique and rare wild silk and wool. The texture is like elastic wool♪ Woven in a diamond pattern, you can enjoy its unique luster and feel. Please enjoy and nurture the aging process with natural dyes.
