Vintage Textile Remade Tea Mat Handwoven Hemp and Wool Plant-Dyed Placemat

This ethnic handwoven vintage textile comes from Yunnan, China, and is estimated to be over 50 years old. The original cloth is a traditional textile of the Bailuo branch of the Yi ethnic group. The textile is handwoven from finely spun hemp yarn and wool yarn, with the wool dyed using plant-based natural dyes. The natural hemp tone forms the base, while red, black, blue, and green wool yarns create rich stripes and variations in color. Hemp and wool are two natural fibers with very different qualities, and their combination within a single textile gives this type of ethnic vintage cloth a distinctive material character. The fine hemp yarn creates a dry, slightly coarse texture, while the wool adds fuller texture and greater depth of color, creating a clear contrast between the two fibers. Over years of use, the vintage textile has developed its own unique color, texture, wear, and changes in the fibers. After cleaning and preparation, it is finished by hand stitching. Even when the design is the same, each piece of cloth carries different traces of time, making every finished piece one of a kind and impossible to reproduce exactly. It can be used to hold teaware, vessels, and small everyday objects, as a tea mat, table linen, or placemat, or simply displayed on its own as a tabletop textile. Colors may vary slightly due to lighting during photography and differences between screens. The natural hemp base of the actual piece is slightly warmer and more yellow-toned than it appears in the photographs. 【Material】 Hemp, wool (ethnic handwoven vintage textile) The wool yarn is dyed with plant-based natural dyes. 【Size】 Approx. 34.8 × 18.5 cm 【About Vintage Textiles】 All vintage textiles used have been cleaned and prepared. Depending on their age, storage conditions, and previous use, they may retain fading, wear, loose threads, localized fiber loosening, repairs, or other natural traces. These are part of the textile’s own history. Please make sure you are comfortable with these natural characteristics before purchasing. 【Care Instructions】 Naturally dyed wool may show varying degrees of color bleeding or fading during use and washing. To preserve the vintage textile, unnecessary washing is best avoided. When cleaning is needed, hand wash gently and separately in cold water using a small amount of mild neutral detergent or a detergent suitable for wool. Avoid prolonged soaking, vigorous rubbing, wringing, and sudden changes in water temperature. After washing, gently press out excess water, reshape the piece, and dry it in a well-ventilated shaded area away from prolonged direct sunlight. 【International Shipping Information】 1.
