KURUME KASURI Fabric - 16 Slub Plain Vermilion

[About Kurume Kasuri]
Kurume Kasuri is a traditional pre-dyed woven fabric produced using a retro belt-driven power loom system comprising twenty connected looms operated by a single motor. Established in 1948, Kurume Kasuri has a rich history and is considered a representative traditional pre-dyed textile of Japan. It is characterized by its soft and delicate texture, resembling hand-woven fabrics. The production process involves a high number of manual steps, taking 2 to 4 months and more than 30 procedures to complete. After weaving, the finished fabric undergoes a natural drying process, which causes it to shrink by approximately 10%. This meticulous craftsmanship makes Kurume Kasuri ideal for those seeking to create exceptional and finely crafted traditional textiles.

[Characteristics of Kurume Kasuri]
The distinct weaving technique of Kurume Kasuri involves using warp and weft threads with contrasting colors to achieve patterns that cannot be expressed with single colors alone. This unique expression of colors is exclusive to pre-dyed fabrics and is known as the "shambray effect." The weft threads, also known as "slub yarn," are crafted using a design yarn with knots, creating a three-dimensional effect in the fabric.
