The Japanese fabric Yuki tsumugi is used to make fine quality kimonos and has a 2,0. Japan. Making the cloth requires more than 4. These skills have been passed down through the years, and in 2. Yuki tsumugi production technique was inscribed on Unescos Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Watch Tiger & Bunny: The Rising Online. OKUJUNs fabrics have a beautiful luster, exceptional lightness, and rich texture. Supreme Yuki Silk is a fabric of highest quality produced by a method descended from the traditional technique and Yuki Silk is a new fabric that preserves the fine texture but made with a more efficient production process. The secret of the incomparably soft texture of the silk resides in its raw material floss silk, and the untwisted yarn spun tenderly by hand from floss silk while typical silk yarn is produced by tightly twisting together several filaments from separate cocoons. Yuki Tsumugi, silk fabric production technique is very complex. The high quality fabric is a result of the artisans highly skilled hand craftsmanship. The fabric is woven from delicate hand spun yarn, and is a layered masterpiece of skilled hand craftsmanship from artisans who execute all the needed procedures. It is supported by a sophisticated combination of professional instinct and dexterous artistry, nurtured through long specialized practice. A single piece of cloth is born from the hands of many master artisans. Floss silk is obtained from a cocoon and, with the use of a tool, gently stretched by hand into yarn, without spinning. During the process, sizing is applied to strengthen the delicate yarn. By using a traditional back tension loom called a jibata, the hand spun yarn is woven into cloth while applying minimal tension to the yarn. The warp is tied to the weavers hip and inseparable from the loom, the weaver controls the tension of the warp through the movement of the hip while weaving. A Hia shuttle used to store weft yarn made from an oak tree, and an osa reed are used to tighten the weave, to create a fine woven silk fabric. Finally, after the process of sun drying, a cloth that is light, warm and extremely soft is born. I am My Mothers Only One 2. Julia Wright. Dorothy Waxman and Edelkoort Inc.

I am my mothers only child, only daughter, only friend. The structure of Wrights family has shifted significantly since her parents recent divorce, and as such, each member of what was a three person unit has learned to live on their own. This piece was created through Wrights reflection on childhood and her relationship with her mother, serving as a sort of necessary step for the designer to accept this new situation. Wright says her memory is driven by colour and shape, and through using the jacquard loom she was able to translate a personal photographic collage into a thick woven fabric, tangible and soft. Each cut square serves as a physical and material reminder of sweet childhood memories the organization of which is unfixed and ever changing. This work was created by collage and painting, and translated through Point Carre software to become woven pieces created on a Staubli jacquard loom. It is a 7 wefted weave, and has been cut apart and reconfigured. Many pieces were painted after weaving with bleach or dye. Christian Frank Mller GermanyKunstuniversitat Linz, Austria. Tex. Lab, 2. 01. 5As a multi skilled designer and Ph. D student with a specialisation in textile design, Mller realises a wide range of different projects along the themes of diversity, details and simplicity with a twist. He perceives that design has a crucial influence on our lives. Good design improves our everyday lives and should be sustainable in terms of long lasting, timelessness, the use of the right materials and flexibility in use. And of course it should look good in every situation. Design is not pure decoration, it is the right ingredients mixed together in order to create a new, unexpected experience. Mller says of his work I like simple things. Some people would say boring, but boring is in my opinion not bad. Its just the absence of excitement in a world that is full of exciting things and where every new object is just trying to raise the level of excitement. In this experimental collection, fabrics are made with different unconventional dyeing, weaving and knitting techniques. Injection dyeing is used on folded, woven fabrics before they unfold to reveal a placed pattern of bleeding spots. Dye is also injected into bobbins and knitting spools before moir and marle fabrics are machine woven or knit. DOWNLOAD PRESS IMAGESphoto Marcella Echavarria.
