100% Tsumugi Silk

Hand-sewn, sturdy and functional, these coasters come in a set of four. Although made from silk, Tsumugi silk is woven and feels more like cotton rather than silk, making the fabric suitable for items other than clothing.

Tsumugi silk originated with farmers who made use of cocoons left over after they had sold their best silk. They collected the floss from the cocoons, spun (tsumugi) it by hand into thread and weaved kimono for themselves.
