This is the base for a quilted blanket this coming fall market.  Handwoven American cotton, dipped in handcrafted soy milk and cured for severed weeks. Afterwards, dyed and redyed many times with Japanese Kakishibu dye.

“Kakishibu” is a traditional Japanese dye/paint of deep amber color which comes from unripe persimmons that have been fermented and aged for more than 2 years. It has many natural, beneficial properties, such as deterring insects and having an anti-mold effect for wood and cloth.
