Plant dyeing, Suoh and lac dye_2, Organic, Cotton gauze, Chita cotton, Large long stole

It is dyed with the traditional plant dyes sappan and lac. This large organic cotton gauze shawl is soft to the touch. This item has a stronger reddish hue than the previous listing, so I am listing it as Suhou and Lac Dye_2. It looks bright when exposed to light, but it is a subdued color because it is dyed with plants. It turned a deep burgundy color reminiscent of autumn. Size: approximately 95cm x 190cm (including approximately 1cm fringe), weight: 78g. Sappan is a dye extracted from the heartwood of trees and was imported during the Asuka period. It has been used to dye clothes for nobles, and as a medicinal plant it has been used as a medicine for women since ancient times. Lac dye is a refined resinous extract of lac scale insects. It has been used as a hemostatic and antibacterial agent in traditional Chinese medicine, and as a dye, and has been used by humans since ancient times. It's a thin, large size, so when folded and stacked the color becomes even deeper. When worn alone, it is light-transmitting and gives a bright and refreshing feel. The fabric (Chita cotton) is hand-dyed and woven for the scarves using unbleached organic cotton, which is also used for baby products. The fabric is washed many times before and after dyeing, so it feels very soft to the touch. It has a refreshing and gentle feel that soothes the skin. It folds up compactly and can be wrapped around your neck to keep warm when it's cold, or used as a lap blanket. Take this opportunity to enjoy nature's gift of natural and traditional colors. ◎Since the product is dyed with 100% natural dyes, detergents containing bleach may cause the color to fade. Wash the garment gently with a mild detergent for delicates, remove excess water with a towel, smooth out any wrinkles, and hang to dry in the shade. The fabric is thin and dries easily, even if you don't wring it out tightly.
