A Half Bolt of Hand Woven Hemp Cloth: Undyed

$275.00 USD

early to mid twentieth century
5 1/2  yards x 14", 5 m x 35.5 cm

This is a half bolt of rough, hand plied, hand woven undyed hemp cloth. 

The cloth is fairly stiff and fairly heavy weight, certainly it was woven for strength and durability and was more than likely destined to be fashioned into an every day work item such as a bag or a furoshiki, a traditional carrying cloth.

The wonderful, rustic yarns are still evident and the texture of the cloth is crisp and unused. 

A really lovely--and very usable--length of old, hand woven hemp cloth.
