The warp threads are made of extremely fine raw silk, and the weft threads are made of extremely fine ramie threads with a count of 500, which are domestically spun. The fabric is woven in Kiryu, Gunma Prefecture, a silk textile production area. Ramie is also called ramie, and it is difficult to make fabric with this count even when spun and woven by hand, but it is possible to make fabric with this count by twisting the ramie with water-soluble thread after spinning and dissolving the water-soluble thread after weaving. For details on the differences between ramie, flax, and hemp, please refer to the article by Boken . It is large at 80 cm wide, but weighs only about 50 g, making it very lightweight. Because it is thin and airy, it can be used all year round, including midsummer, and can be used as a regular stole or draped over the shoulders. It will become more wrinkled with use, but it can be ironed out to smooth it out. This item was dyed by Kumiko Mori, an indigo dyer in Tokushima.
