Silk Stole in Off-White and Indigo Stripes

An off-white stole with indigo stripes and grid made from zuridashi silk - the most primitive way of making silk yarn out of cocoons. Using only hands without any tools in our studio in India. The yarn was twisted lightly by finger tips, making it as fluffy and soft as floss silk. 

Size: 52 x 193 cm. Dyed with mehendi, pomegranate, and indigo. 

All Maki Textile Studio shawls and stoles are hand-woven with hand-made yarns such as hand-reeled, hand-spun silks using traditional Japanese or Indian techniques. In accordance with an old Japanese method, the silk yarns are not degummed fully before being dyed with vegetable dyes and woven on the hand looms. Although they may not have a 'silky touch' in the beginning, the more they are used, the softer and glossier they become.
