Natural Dye Large Wool Stole - Pagoda Tree Bud Yellow (Joy)

This botanical-dyed Kaya-ori wool long stole is hand-dyed to a vibrant yellow using the flower buds of the Japanese Pagoda Tree (Enju). While the photos might show a slight cool undertone, the actual product is a very warm, bright yellow. Being a natural botanical dye, the color has depth and is sophisticated rather than garish. In the cold of winter, I have dyed this to a shade that carries happiness and hope, gently warming the heart. This is a one-of-a-kind handcrafted piece. The Pagoda Tree bud, known as "Kaika" in traditional herbal medicine, is famous for its hemostatic, vascular-strengthening, and anti-inflammatory properties. You can see these magnificent trees at the Tokyo Metropolitan Medicinal Botanical Garden. The result is a powerful color that feels protective, much like the herbs it comes from. Size: Approx. 117cm width x 185cm length (including 5cm fringe on each end). Weight: 146g. While it is large enough to envelop your body, it is remarkably lightweight. Having been washed multiple times during production, it is fluffy and gentle without any wool-specific prickliness. It can be gently hand-washed at home. Kaya-ori wool features a cotton warp, but the parts that touch your skin are wrapped in soft wool. Its high absorbency ensures a fresh and comfortable feel across multiple seasons. This oversized stole can be used as a shawl replacement or a cozy lap blanket. Take this opportunity to enjoy a gift from nature—a pure and gentle natural color. ◇ We provide wrapping even for "Standard Shipping." ◇ Free gift wrapping is available.
