The colours, especially the lighter colours, have the earthy muted slightly irregular colouring which the original process would have created. The fabric feels and looks like a soft cottony silk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is tsumugi cloth?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlympus manufacturing, Japan, explains tsumugi fabric as follows:    \"An obsolete, costly, narrow Japanese silk fabric made in the following fashion: first, a coarse cloth is woven with cotton wrap and thick silk filling; second, this fabric is run through a dye vat several times; third, it is buried in the ground until the cotton warp has rotted; lastly, the silk is rewoven into a fabric. The result is a mottled design produced by un-dyed places in the silk yarn where the cotton warp prevented dye penetration. Olympus developed a cotton fabric similar to the true Tsumugi.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Olympus tsumugi  cotton fabric is a dyed yarn shot cotton. Shot cotton fabrics are made by using two colours of yarn (thread), one for the warp, a second colour for the weft. These yarns are dyed before the fabric is woven resulting in a saturated colour and the distinctive slightly mottled appearance \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Olympus, Japan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52883073204500,"sku":"Tsumugi Fabric Roll","price":28.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1047\/8060\/files\/DSC_1244.jpg?v=1784833802","url":"https:\/\/www.athreadedneedle.com\/products\/tsumugi-fabric-roll","provider":"A Threaded Needle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
