Terra Cotta Pumpkin Slubby-Textured Handwoven Tsumugi Kimono Silk from Japan By the Yard, #287
Terracotta/butternut/dusty orange tones with cross-woven dark reds and creams, and skinny lengthwise stripes through the weave, in mostly deep wine, adding even more detail and depth. This silk is thin and mid-weight, with a bit of body, a very textured, slubby surface, no shine and not much drape. It's not a sleek silk, but is very soft. There are thick threads now and then, creating slubs in various colors. This kimono silk has been carefully stored, never used; in excellent condition. This is a weave not a print, and both sides are the same. The colors are even. (If the photos make it seem like there is discoloration, fading or gray areas, that's just where the texture and lighting has confused the camera; don't believe it). 14" wide and sold by the full yard; we'll cut yours in one piece from the never-used bolt. 100% Silk. Japan.
