Nashi Silk Stole (Plant Dyed)

Nasi is a part of the silk that Indian wild silkworms, or tasar silkworms, make when they hang from a tree. The weft thread is made from spun silk threads made from nasi, and the warp thread is made from fine, unrefined raw silk. This original fabric is woven in plain weave. The off-white color is undyed. Although it is not used here, Maki Textile Studio's article on hand-spun nasi thread in India is detailed, so please refer to it.

Both the weft nasi thread and the warp raw silk are stronger than normal glossy silk threads, and the fabric has a stiff, crisp texture that changes to a softer texture like denim with repeated daily wear. Nasi thread is as strong as wool, so it has resilience and does not wear out even when used repeatedly.

Handling Instructions

*This product uses delicate fabric that emphasizes the texture of natural materials. Please be careful not to apply too much force as this may cause the weave to become distorted. When washing, please wash gently by hand or use a laundry net and the washing machine's cleaning cycle. *Enjoy the unevenness of the plant dye and how it changes over time. To prevent color transfer, avoid using it with light-colored items. Wash with a neutral detergent and dry in the shade. These colors may discolor due to sweat or light, so please handle them with care and store them away from sunlight and fluorescent lights. (Dark Walnut, Dark Mugwort, Dark Horse Chestnut) *Enjoy the unevenness of the plant dye and how it changes over time. To prevent color transfer due to friction, avoid using it with light-colored items, wash it separately with a neutral detergent, and dry it in the shade. Sweat and sunlight can cause discoloration, so please handle with care. (Persimmon Tannin & Bengala, Persimmon Tannin & Sumi Ink, Natural Indigo & Turmeric & Sumi Ink)
