A Long Panel of Patched Kaya: Hemp Mosquito Netting

$65.00 USD

ca. early to mid twentieth century
67" x 12 1/4", 170 cm x 31 cm

This is a wonderful length of rustic, over dyed indigo hemp cloth.  This is a panel from a kaya or mosquito netting, hence the very loose, open weave of the cloth; the color is a very warm blue that can leave you wondering, "is this blue, or is this green?"

The color might vary depending on the ambient light conditions; the hemp yarns are wiry and have taken the dye in a slightly uneven fashion, which adds to the country appeal of this length.

The three applied patches, each with lovely stitching, add charm to this good sized length.

A lovely length of old kaya.
