Itajime SHIBORI sarashi TENUGUI - TIEDYE SCARF

Super-psychedelic sacred geometry freak flag for you to wear!! or display!! or best idea yet, give to somebody you LOVE as a gift!!! This pattern reminds me of little flowers or Venetian glass.

This is a double-size 100% cotton sarashi tenugui, like a japanese scarf or hand towel. By ‘double-size’, I mean it is enough for two tenugui. I will cut it in half if I need to, and sell the two tenugui separately. I have listed this as two pieces, but it is all one long pice to begin with. If you purchase both pieces, it will not be cut.

A tenugui is versatile and there are so many things you can do with it, including wrap your head or neck, wrap and carry goods, display it like a tapestry on a wall or in a window. or on a car dash. You could even consider it fabric for your latest creation! Cut it up mandala by mandala and use it for applique or whatnot. Bright and happy color scheme will resonate thru no matter how you use it. It is a smile flag!!

This is a nice light sarashi, like a strong gauze. It is originally woven narrow like this , so there are selvedges on both sides. The ends are unfinished.

Folded and bound and dyed by me using procion fiber reactive dyes. This type of shibori is called itajime, although i do it in a different way than it is done in the traditional Japanese version. Itajime means clamped between boards , and I do not use clamps or boards, but rubber bands. Sometimes this is called Sekka Itajime, or snow flower itajime, the snow crystal always being a isx-pointed crystal. This pattern is also one version of a traditional pattern called asanoha-gara, or hemp leaf pattern.

altogether, it is 197 cms (77 inches) x 34.5 cms (13.6 inches)

I am selling it in halves. Buy both if you want the entire piece, and it will not be cut.

Completely washable in hot water and detergent. Ironable too.

It's a scarf, or a collar, or a wall hanging, or an altar cloth, or a crystal mandala cloth, or fabric for your project, or the best gift ever. It's all that, and MORE!!! Get it and unleash all of its possibilities!!
