The silk thread wound around this wooden spool is kizome-dyed, unrefined silk thread.
kizome is a traditional Japanese dyeing technique in which the silk is dyed without first removing the natural sericin from the silk fibers. Because dyeing silk in this condition is technically difficult, it requires considerable skill and experience from the dyer.
Unrefined silk has a matte appearance and a slightly crisp, textured feel. It is traditionally used to create sheer summer fabrics such as Sha and Ro, which are lightweight and have an open, airy weave.
You can also use this unique silk thread for embroidery, weaving, and other creative projects to create something truly your own.
The white thread is completely undyed and remains in its natural color.

This wooden thread spool has a hole through the center, so you can easily pass a wire or similar material through it and hang the spool. This makes it very convenient to pull the thread out smoothly while working.
The spool has grooves carved at regular intervals, which help prevent the thread from slipping or shifting while it is being unwound.
