Set of 8 embroidered dishcloths made from gauze Made in fabric. Approx. 30x30cm. Japan.

These "kaya fabric dishcloths" are made from mosquito net fabric carefully woven over time in Nara Prefecture, the only remaining mosquito net production area in Japan, and then embroidered in Wakayama Prefecture. Origin: It is said that the origin of mosquito nets began when female factory workers at a factory that made mosquito nets started sewing together several pieces of defective fabric or leftover scraps from cutting, not wanting to waste them, to make them for themselves. Stiff dishcloths: Because starch paste is in the manufacturing process of the fabric, they initially have a crisp appearance. However, rinsing them several times in lukewarm water will remove the starch and result in a softer texture. There may be variations in the color of the fabric, but this is due to the starch paste and does not affect the quality. Functionality: Made from rayon yarn, this "kaya fabric dishcloth" has 1.3 times the water absorption of cotton, is highly resistant to oil stains, and can quickly remove oily dirt with just a wipe. It is also highly breathable and quick-drying, ensuring hygienic use.
