Vintage Japanese Cotton Kasuri -1/2 yd - Indigo/Olive
Add a touch of textile history to your work with this traditional Japanese kasuri fabric. Each piece is a vintage remnant of Japan’s rich weaving heritage—woven in narrow widths for kimono-making and dyed with indigo using time-honored methods.
Perfect for patchwork, visible mending, quilting, and hand-stitching projects where both beauty and story matter.
This is a vintage indigo-dyed kasuri, a traditional Japanese ikat fabric in which portions of the warp and/or weft threads are left undyed before weaving, resulting in beautiful blurred-edge patterns in the finished cloth.
