Fabric History/Pedigree:  Pieces received from a traditional Japanese kimono  cleaner/reconstructor called Arai-Hari -- 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: 1960s Japanese kimono silk, Lightweight, minimally translucent, silk taken from a woman's kimono; Fabric color is composed by very thin pinstripes, alternating dark blue and dark burgundy, with the 1/16th inch / 1.59 mm pinstripes' borders being dark silver ( see last closeup photo); This combination gives the fabric an interesting blended color when seen from a distance -- to include sheen; mostly the same on reverse.


Color Accuracy: Screen settings and contrast vary by device. Please refer to our text descriptions for the most accurate sense of the color.


Recommended for making scarf/accessories.

Condition: Excellent.
