Hand-woven Wool Long Stole - Hana no Kumo (Flower Cloud)

Looking up at the sky, the flowers are in full bloom, much like clouds filling the blue sky. This is a large, long stole woven by hand with that image in mind. Size: Width x Length is approximately 41cm x 217cm (including fringe of approx. 7cm and side fringe of 2cm), weighing 222g. It's large but light. The side fringes are woven to create a beautiful color combination when layered. It's thoroughly washed and finished for a very fluffy result. Merino wool is combined with pastel-colored mohair and decorative threads to create a soft, blended color palette. Since various yarns such as merino wool, mohair, and decorative threads are used, the shrinkage rate is not constant. After finishing, it is always felted (thoroughly washed to remove dirt and soften the texture). Therefore, the width is not uniform. While there may be slight variations in width, we hope you will enjoy it as the unique texture of a hand-woven stole. "Saori-ori" is a "weaving of sensibility that gives form to the thoughts of the moment," advocated by Misao Jo.
