SALE Blue Handweave Ikat Vintage Kimono Silk Tsumugi By the Yard #169

Blues and muted purples, woven in a rustic, complex ikat with a primitive look. There are two different large shapes, repeating in rows geometrically. The lighter tones create a blurry look mostly from the smaller details in the low-contrast design. The large ovals and four-sided shapes are 3.5" x 4". This silk is thin, light, quite bouncy and crisp. It has lots of body and no drape, with some texture from the different fiber thicknesses, slubs and other rustic features. To us, it seems like it may be partly hemp; it's not silky-soft at all. But the original labels and certifications, now sold but shown below for your reference, say 100% Silk. No two areas will exactly match. Raw silk, handwoven, true ikat: the back is just the same.  14" wide Silk Tsumugi sold by the full yard. We'll cut yours in one piece from the vintage, excellent condition, unused bolt.  100% Silk. Japan.
