This zokin, or sashiko stitched dustrag, is sewn from layers of cotton cloth which are then sashiko stictched together.
What makes this zokin so interesting is that it is sewn from hand loomed kasuri or
ikat cottons: the play of white, cotton stitches against the woven
pattern of the kasuri cloth is just lovely and visually very
interesting.
The indigo blue of the cotton is still rich and intense; this traditional dustrag will make a wonderful home accessory.
A lovely thing.
