These Silver leaf thread is threads made in Kyoto NISHIJIN.
Apply natural lacquer to Japanese paper (washi). Lacquer acts as an adhesive. Then, the craftsman sticks pure silver leaf on the lacquered Japanese paper.
Then, the Japanese paper with the pure silver leaf attached is cut into small pieces. Then, wrap it around the core thread by hand. It takes a lot of time and effort. It is the finest thread made by the craftsmen of kyoto nishijin.
This thread is a special thread made for kimono and obi embroidery and weaving.
■How to handle skeins■
The skein has a beginning and an end. First, find the beginning and the end. The one that pulls lightly and the thread comes out smoothly is the beginning. The one that pulls lightly and gets entangled is the end. If you set the beginning to the top, the thread can be pulled out smoothly.
