[Peony Dyed] Organic Cotton Poplin Compact Summer Scarf

[Peony Dyed] Organic Cotton Poplin Compact Summer Scarf This fabric is produced in the renowned birthplace of Takashima Chijimi, crinkled weave, and crepe fabrics, located in Kosai Takashima by Lake Biwa. Highly twisted yarn is used for the weft, creating a "shibo" (creased texture) as the yarn tries to untwist. This results in a crisp texture and breathability due to the unevenness, making it a material perfect for summer that stays comfortably away from the skin. Crinkled weave fabrics have long been used for summer undergarments, known for their pleasant crispness and coolness, similar to linen. They are useful for protection against air conditioning in hot weather and as a sunshade. The textured fabric creates a stall that lifts away from the skin. The vertical creases add an elegant touch. This item has been dyed using the botanical dye method, with pigments extracted from plants. The color is a pale, slightly muted pink, dyed with peonies. ● Peony flower language...

Fabric softener is not necessary. [What is Botanical Dyeing?] Botanical dyeing is a technique that extracts dyes from plants such as flowers, leaves, roots, stems, trees, bark, and fruits. A natural adhesive derived from protein is evenly applied to the fabric, followed by the addition of a small amount of chemical dye. This process achieves colorfastness (resisting fading from light, sweat, and washing by stabilizing the pigment) without the need for mordants, resulting in the expression of beautiful, natural colors on the fabric. Natural dyes are not singular compounds like chemical dyes. A single color contains multiple pigments, and the interplay of both weak and strong pigments reflects light diffusely, allowing the color to appear gently to our eyes. We hope you will enjoy the vibrant yet deep and soft hues of botanical dyes. Botanical dyeing is an eco-friendly dyeing method that is gentle on both the earth and people, as it generates less water pollution and consumes less water during the dyeing process.
