3 items left

The spirit of the Japanese highlands in every stitch. A paper yarn that works as hard as it looks.

Elevate your summer crafting with the extraordinary Daruma Sasawashi Flat. This isn't just a paper yarn; it is a technical marvel made from Kumasasa, a hardy bamboo grown 1,000 meters above sea level. Unlike traditional "twisted" paper yarns, the Flat version offers a sleek, ribbon-like profile that mimics the look of high-end raffia but with a sophisticated, natural luster that is unmistakably Japanese.

Why Sasawashi Flat is the Ultimate Summer Fiber:

  • Nature’s Own Protection: Kumasasa bamboo is naturally antibacterial, deodorant, and UV-blocking. Your handmade hats and bags will stay fresh, clean, and provide natural sun protection for years to come.

  • Resilient & Water-Repellent: Thanks to a specialized dyeing process, this yarn is water-repellent and stain-resistant. It naturally prevents mildew growth and fiber deterioration, making it perfect for the humidity of a beach day or a garden party.

  • The "Flat" Advantage: The untwisted, flat construction creates a smooth, modern fabric with incredible stitch definition. It is thinner and more refined than standard Sasawashi, perfect for delicate brims and sleek, minimalist totes.

  • Eco-Conscious Luxury: Made in Japan from 100% sustainable bamboo paper, this yarn is for the maker who demands high performance without compromising on environmental ethics.

Ideal for: Wide-brimmed summer hats, structured beach totes, designer-style clutches, architectural home baskets, and sustainable gift wrapping.
