Nashi Silk Shawl (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

*We use delicate fabric that emphasizes the texture of natural materials. Please note that applying too much force may cause the fabric to become distorted. When washing, please wash gently by hand or use a laundry net and use the cleaning cycle on your washing machine. *Dyed with dyes extracted from plants and insects, there is a natural unevenness. As there is a possibility of color transfer, avoid using with light-colored items at first, wash with a neutral detergent, and dry in the shade. As this is product dyed, the color and size of each item may vary slightly. (Akane, Lacquer, Logwood) *Dyed with natural indigo. The color will become lighter with repeated use. As there is a possibility of color transfer, avoid using with light-colored items at first, wash with neutral detergent, and dry in the shade. As this is product dyed, the color and size of each item may vary slightly. (Light Natural Indigo, Dark Natural Indigo)
