Rusty Smoked Brown Vintage Handwoven Kimono Silk from Japan By the Yard #128

Coppers, blacks, browns and charcoals, with skinny strands of dark teal in the weave, so thin they're almost invisible. Lots of charcoal slubs and character. This handwoven silk is thin and light, soft, supple, not shiny but almost glowing, from all the different colors in the weave. It's slightly crisp, with no drape, but is whispy-light. It looks like it's a Tsumugi woven from what in the past would have been 'waste' silk, perhaps considered to have too much variance in fiber width and too many slubs. It's much like a thin, rustic, lightweight dupioni and to us, drop dead gorgeous. Both sides are the same. 14" wide and sold by the full yard. We'll cut yours in one piece from the vintage, never used, excellent condition bolt. 100% Silk. Japan.
