Sakiori Handwoven Scarf – Flower Mosaic

A colorful patchwork of greens, golds, and soft jewel tones comes together in this one-of-a-kind Japanese handwoven scarf

Made using sakiori, a traditional Japanese weaving technique that gives discarded textiles new life, the scarf combines strips of reclaimed kimono fabric with carefully selected yarns to create a richly textured surface.

The kimono fabrics are washed, dyed, and torn into narrow strips before being woven together. Cotton and occasional silk fabrics are combined with cotton, silk, and nylon blend yarns, creating a mosaic-like pattern of small blocks that suggest flowers scattered across a garden path.

The combination of materials gives the scarf a wonderfully varied texture, with some areas slightly raised or fuzzy and others more tightly woven. Although the fabric has some structure, it feels soft against the skin, much like a substantial jersey knit.

Wear it loosely draped over your shoulders or wrapped around your neck to show off its beautiful colors and intricate weaving. Each scarf is individually made, with variations in texture and pattern that reflect the reclaimed materials used in its creation.
