Fabric History/Pedigree: Pieces received from a traditional Japanese kimono cleaner/reconstructor called Arai-Hari , but these are deadstock, were never completed-- see an excellent explanation of traditional Arai Hari by textile expert John Marshall by clicking HERE;  

 For an excellent 'how-to' do  Arai-Hari oneself, we highly recommend Kae Warnock's Blog, Chocolate Factotum: 


Fabric Description: Lightweight silk shibori (tie-dyed)with silk liner attached (basting stitches); originally intended as part of a kimono. This is a 1980s fabric piece with a rusty-burgundy and white background, with classic tiny dots (kanoko / fawn spot patterns)-please see close-ups. The fabric is textured to the touch; also, the fabric has slight elasticity due to the tie-dye process.

Condition: Excellent.

Recommended for use in making scarves or accessories.
