It is \u003cem\u003ekasuri\u003c\/em\u003e woven and shows five, wonderfully rendered and scaled money pouches equally placed along the length of this cloth.  The pouch images are the result of the \u003cem\u003ekasuri\u003c\/em\u003e dyeing method, whereby the weaving yarns are tied at specific spots along the yarn before dyeing: by doing so they resist dye. Once woven, images appear due to the contrast of tones in the cotton yarns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe images of money pouches, a symbol of abundance, are weft directional, meaning the weft yarns were resist dyed in order to produce this image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall color of the length is grey: this is due to the cotton yarns being dyed in a vat of dye made from charcoal based ink (and possibly with the cloth dipped in an indigo vat at some point during the dyeing process).  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe length shows some subtle creases and variation in the tones of grey color: this is the result light fading of the futon cover when it was stuffed with wadding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface of the futon cover was crinkled so the light fading is the result of light falling upon an creased surface and there is still an ingrained wrinkling on the surface of this length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA simply lovely length of \u003cem\u003ekasuri\u003c\/em\u003e cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49296562946166,"sku":"yfl1794054801519","price":72.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/1205\/1318\/files\/a-length-of-weft-based-kasuri-dyed-cotton-money-pouches_1.jpg?v=1794054837","url":"https:\/\/terrytone.shop\/products\/a-length-of-weft-based-kasuri-dyed-cotton-money-pouches","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
