KURUME KASURI Fabric - 60/2 Double thread Orange Pink

[About Kurume Kasuri]
Kurume Kasuri is a traditional pre-dyed fabric, produced at a weaving factory established in the year 1948 during the Showa era. The factory operates 20 retro belt-type power looms connected to a single motor. This fabric is renowned as one of Japan's representative traditional textiles. Its distinctive feature is the soft and delicate texture, reminiscent of hand-woven fabrics. The production process involves numerous manual steps, taking 2 to 4 months to complete over 30 different processes. After weaving, all the fabrics undergo a natural drying process using hot water to achieve a 10% shrinkage, resulting in a unique finish.

[Weaving Characteristics]
For the warp (vertical threads), a fine count of 60/2 is used, along with a combination of vertical and horizontal color arrangements, producing a shiny solid color effect known as "Chambray." The series with double warp threads feature an original weaving pattern characterized by a subtle play of colors. The indigo slub yarn on the weft (horizontal threads) adds depth to the color.

Warp: 60/2 Ox Blood, Weft: 20/1 Golden Brown 1322, 20/1 Kinarie

Due to the Chambray effect, the appearance of the fabric can vary depending on the angle of light and the fabric's position, resulting in different color perceptions.
