Plant-Dyed Wool-Cotton Large Long Stole - Sappanwood and Lac Dye - Tsubo Sumire Hue

A large, domestically produced kayagori wool stole, dyed with the natural colors of sappanwood and lac dye. Dimensions: Approximately 120cm (width) x 196cm (length), including approximately 3cm of fringe on both ends. Weight: 149g. The warp threads are cotton, but all the weft threads are wool. This means the surfaces that touch your skin are made of soft wool. There is no scratchiness; it's light, fluffy, and incredibly soft to the touch. The color resembles "Tsubo Sumire" (a traditional Japanese hue) – a slightly subdued, mauve tone that exudes a mature elegance. This stole imparts a gentle impression. As this is a soft, lightweight, large stole made from 100% natural dyes and hand-dyed domestically, it can also be used as a cozy wrap at home on cooler days or as a lap blanket. Enjoy it in various settings. Kayagori dyeing involves multiple washes both before and after the dyeing process, contributing to its exceptionally soft texture. We invite you to experience the gifts of nature and embrace these gentle, natural hues. ◇ If you choose "Standard Shipping," your item will still be carefully packaged. ◇ Complimentary gift wrapping is available.
