Narsi Silk Shawl

Nasi is the stem-like part of a silkworm produced by the Indian wild silkworm, the Tasar silkworm, as it hangs from a tree. This original fabric is woven in a plain weave using yarn spun from nashi at Japan's only silk spinning factory in Shiga, with unrefined, fine-count raw silk as the warp. The off-white color is undyed. While not used here, Maki Textile Studio's article provides detailed information on hand-spun nashi yarn in India, so please take a look.

Both the weft thread and the warp thread are made of nashi silk, which is stronger than regular glossy silk thread, and the fabric has a stiff, crisp feel that changes to a soft, almost denim-like texture with repeated daily wear.Nashi yarn is as strong as wool, so it has the resilience and does not wear out even with repeated use.

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. *Due to the washing process after sewing, the color and size may vary slightly from item to item. (Natural White) *Dyed in dark colors. To avoid color transfer, please avoid mixing with light colors. To prevent color fading, use a dry-cleaning detergent and dry in the shade. Due to post-production processing, the color and size may vary slightly from item to item. (Dark Navy, Black)
