Natural texture created by quality raw materials and the craftsmanship of experienced dyers

"Washed Belgian Linen 25s Natural Dyed" is a plain weave fabric made from high-quality 25 count Belgian flax linen yarn, carefully woven in the Enshu region. It is then dyed by artisans in Hamamatsu using a revolutionary dyeing technique that completely changes conventional fabric production, resulting in a unique, natural texture unlike any other product.

Dyeing technique that respects the rhythm of nature and minimizes stress on the material

To achieve a "natural and rustic flavor" that cannot be produced by conventional continuous dyeing methods, dyers have overturned traditional practices. They carefully dye the fabric without subjecting it to unnecessary chemical treatments or stress, investing ample time and effort to maximize the inherent qualities of linen and bring out its delicate, natural expression.

Soft and delicate three-dimensional texture created by high-quality linen yarn

"Washed Belgian Linen 25s Natural Dyed" uses carefully selected high-quality linen yarn. Through a slow dyeing process by artisans, the subtle irregularities of the linen slubs emerge delicately, enhancing the soft and full texture of the fabric.

"Washed Belgian Linen 25s Natural Dyed" is a thick, sturdy linen fabric that is thoroughly dyed and then carefully washed to achieve a soft, pliable feel from the first wear. It has a plump, substantial quality and a适度fluid drape.

Dye surface with randomly bleeding shades andかすれ in 22 colors

Fabrics from Kiji no Mori are created in Hamamatsu, a region renowned for its natural fibers, through the skilled techniques and intuition of artisans who are deeply knowledgeable about creating texture, surface appearance, and dyeing techniques.

Natural Dyeing Process

Natural dyeing is a method where raw fabric (kibata) is dyed directly, without stressing the fabric with bleaching or chemical treatments. The dye reacts with the fabric overnight. Considering the weather, humidity, and temperature, the material's inherent qualities are maximized through meticulous time and effort, resulting in delicate unevenness, bleeding, and variations in shade, creating a natural and rustic fabric.

Characteristics of Processing

Irregularities such as bumps, scratches, streaks, selvage wrinkles, dye irregularities, slubs, lightning wrinkles, surface fluctuations, and other imperfections as shown in the image above are inherent to the fabric. These are not considered defects, but rather natural characteristics of the material and processing. Please note that the appearance of wrinkles and irregularities may also vary depending on the color shade.

Handling Natural Dyed Fabric

"Washed Belgian Linen 25s Natural Dyed" does not undergo mercerization (a chemical treatment to smooth the fabric surface and improve color development), so it is more prone to color fading than general fabrics. However, it is more stable compared to our other products like "Vintage," "Rue de Back," and "Damage Dyed and Washed."

While washing is possible, there is a risk of color transfer if it rubs against other items while wet, so please wash it separately. To minimize color fading, wash it in cold water with a neutral detergent, such as one for delicate clothes.

*Please note that "washed" in "Washed Belgian Linen 25s Natural Dyed" does not mean that the fabric has been pre-soaked or pre-washed with water.

Authentic Material Beauty Highlighted by High-Quality Yarn that Brings Out a Worn-in Texture
