Cotton Fabric - 60/2 2-Ply Yarn Light Beige

[About Kurume Kasuri]
A retro belt-driven power loom system from the Showa era, where 20 looms operate from a single motor.
This Kurume Kasuri weaving workshop was founded in 1948.
It is one of Japan's representative traditional yarn-dyed textiles.
Features a soft texture close to handwoven fabric.
With over 30 mostly manual processes, each fabric takes 2 - 4 months to complete.
All woven fabric is finished by hot-water washing and natural drying, allowing it to shrink about 10%.
An ideal textile for those who wish to produce unique works using Japan's traditional weaving techniques.

[Weaving Characteristics]
Uses fine-count warp yarns called 60/2.
Combined with the color balance between warp and weft, this fabric has a chambray-like luster.
The 2-ply yarn series features an original weaving method with a unique texture achieved by a special way of winding the weft yarn.
Green-toned weft threads subtly appear through the weave, adding depth to the color.
Warp yarn: 60/2 Nezumi Light Beige
Weft yarn: 60/2 Light Beige, 16/1 Dark Brown

Due to the chambray effect, the appearance of color changes depending on lighting and viewing angle.
Although carefully selected photos are used, the color may appear differently depending on perception, lighting, or angle.
