Linen Handwoven Linen Stole [Hōfū01]

Handwoven Linen Stole [Hōfū*01] Materials: 85% Linen, 15% Polyester Size: Approx. 40cm x 170cm (excluding 6cm fringe) This medium-sized stole is meticulously handwoven using the finest 120-count linen yarn, sourced from a long-established textile wholesaler in Kyoto. The threads are dyed in various colors from a base of bleached yarn, creating a piece that drapes with a sheer, light quality, free from stiffness, and conforms softly to the body. A border design is woven with linen yarns in beige, navy, and gray, interspersed with polyester fancy yarns. The textured, novelty yarns add depth and visual interest to the fabric's surface. The ultra-fine ramie linen yarn, half the thickness of standard linen yarn used in handweaving, is characterized by its minimal fuzz and subtle sheen. With a total of 516 warp threads, woven at a fine density, it results in an exceptionally supple texture. Linen stoles offer superior moisture absorption, breathability, and quick-drying properties compared to cotton, ensuring a dry and refreshing feel against the skin. They are perfect for year-round wear, from spring through autumn. *Due to the use of textured synthetic yarns, please iron with the steam function only, holding the iron slightly above the fabric. *If you would like gift wrapping, please let us know; it is available free of charge.
