roll of hige tsumugi

this is hige tsumugi. 

hige means 'beard', but i have also heard this called whiskar tsumugi. while the fabric is being made, little sections of thread are tied into the fabric and get woven into the fabric itself. i have never seen a bolt of this fabric before.

100% silk.

note: this is an antique product and therefore will have signs of age.
