Vintage Japanese Kasuri-like Wool -1/2 yd - White/Slate
Textural and timeless, this 100% wool fabric is a rare find. Once used for everyday garments like monpe pants and haori jackets, this fabric carries a legacy of quiet practicality and subtle beauty. Whether you're sewing, quilting, or crafting, its soft-yet-sturdy hand makes it a joy to work with.
The kasuri-like pattern is printed on the wool, not woven with yarn-dyed threads as with true kasuri.
Wool fabrics like this were often chosen for their durability, warmth, and natural breathability. Though vintage, this yardage has been beautifully preserved as deadstock, showing only minor signs of age. The hand is supple and soft—not scratchy—ideal for visible mending, or home projects that benefit from a bit of rustic charm.
