100% Tsumugi Silk

Fabric is from the 1980s in a deep peacock blue. It is dyed with repeated branches of flower buds. 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. 

This scarf is lined with woven white kimono silk, often used for wedding kimonos.
