A Length of Hand Spun Pieced Cotton: Katazome Chrysanthemums

$85.00 USD

early twentieth century
71" x 13 1/4", 180.5 cm x 33.5 cm

This quite long length of indigo dyed katazome cotton is in fact three separate pieces stitched up the center.

It shows an often-seen pattern of chrysanthemums against a background of arabesque; the white-on-blue type of katazome dyeing is more prevalent than blue-on-white.

What is extra-nice about this length is the good quality of the cloth: it is hand woven from hand-spun cotton yarns. The tactile sense from this aspect of the cloth is a desirable trait in old folk textiles.

Generous in length this is a versatile length of very good katazome cloth with a wonderful pattern and great yarns.
