Indigo-dyed Matsusaka cotton fabric, solid dark navy, unsewn kimono length. A traditional craft of Mie Prefecture. 12 meters long, 40cm wide.

We are very sorry, but we cannot offer a discount on this item. This is a Matsusaka cotton fabric roll in a finely woven dark navy blue. It is 40cm wide and over 12m long. This indigo dyeing is designated as a Mie Prefecture Traditional Craft. This item is from a workshop that stubbornly uses traditional methods for dyeing and weaving. The characteristic of genuine indigo-dyed cotton is that the color becomes more beautiful with each wash. This is a raw fabric roll. Please wash it to remove the starch before tailoring. It seems that a little starch is applied to the threads when weaving in the workshop to make the weaving process easier. It also improves the texture. How about using it for a single-layered kimono? The last image shows three colors of Matsusaka cotton. This dark navy blue is the darkest color on the left. *The Miito Ori (みいと織) mark may or may not be printed. Both have the same quality. Thank you for your understanding. When washing, please do not wash it with other items. (Once the color has stabilized, even if the indigo color transfers to other items, it can be washed off.) It will shrink somewhat when washed, but it is woven larger in both width and length to account for this. Indigo dyeing requires a lot of time and effort. Drying is also done in the sun. This is a Japanese handmade cotton fabric roll. Thank you for your consideration.
