This 100% cotton hand-woven scarf is crafted from indigo-dyed yarn. The dark blue woven pattern features short white horizontal lines at random, known as "kasuri yarns." The yarn is dyed in an indigo jar at the Kurume Kasuri weaver in Fukuoka, Japan.
Because it is made with natural indigo, it requires careful handling to avoid getting wet or rubbing it. However, the color gradually settles down, a unique characteristic of indigo dyeing.
You can easily care for it at home through hand washing, etc.
"Kasuri" derives its name from the blurred appearance of the pattern when the area to be left white or dyed separately is tied with thread before dyeing (dye-proofing). After dyeing, the tied thread is untied, and the thread itself is dyed using the dye separation technique before weaving. This yarn-dyed fabric exhibits the same "kasuri" pattern on both the front and back.
