Vintage indigo, white and red tsumugi kimono silk with bamboo pattern - by the yard

Sorry, this item has sold.

This listing is for one yard (36 inches or 91.33cm) of fabric. There are multiple yards available. If more than one yard is purchased then you will receive the entire yardage as one complete length.

This beautiful silk fabric is unused, old stock and would make an amazing quilt, pillow case or table runner. It can also be used for apparel but please remember that kimono fabric is not as wide as other fabrics. The silk is in perfect shape. This fabric has not been laundered.

Tsumugi is created out of pre-dyed threads. The warp and weft threads are different colors (called shot fabric) giving the fabric a wonderful depth of color. Traditionally the weft threads of tsumugi are black. This fabric features black and deep indigo blue weft threads creating a barely noticeable striped pattern. The warp threads are an indigo color.

The last photo shows the colors most accurately. Crayola brand crayons were place in the photo for color comparison. Please note that due to the weaving and the sheen of this fabric it may appear a deeper indigo/black color or light indigo blue color depending on the reflection of the light.

A pattern of white and red bamboo fronds was created in the silk using pre-dyed threads. This gives it a unique "checkered" look.

This fabric has a crisp texture and stiff drape that is similar to a dupioni silk. Although this fabric is crisp it has a warmer feel than meisen silk or dupioni silk. The silk should become more supple with use. Typical of tsumugi this fabric is also very wrinkle resistant. It has a moderate sheen.

Please enlarge the photos to see the wonderful texture and color of the silk.

*I am always willing to provide more information or pictures regarding my fabrics or using/sewing these fabrics. Please do not hesitate to send me a convo if you have any questions.*

I believe that the pictures show a good representation of the fabric colors however, please remember that colors may look different on your monitor. This is a vintage item so there may be small blemishes or marks although, I do not see any. This item has been stored for many years so there may be a slight storage smell, although I do not notice one. Items can be hung in the shade to remove odor. Hand wash in cool water.

    if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
    as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
