Kitchen Mitten Gray Mix / Cotton / IND 330916-1 インド/コットン Kitchen Mitten Gray Mix ルイ版
This kitchen mitten is made from organic cotton Gara-bou yarn, cultivated and spun in India.
Gara-bou refers to yarn spun using a traditional Japanese spinning machine called a Gara-bou Spinning Machine, invented in Japan over a century ago.It has a natural, hand-spun look and feel. Though it appears loosely woven, it feels soft and fluffy to the touch, with excellent breathability and quick-drying properties.A small loop allows you to hang and store it when not in use.Although not very visible in photos, a small stitch on the fabric separates the thumb from the other fingers, making it easier to grip items securely.The mitten has moderate thickness and lies flat when placed down, making it suitable for use as a pot mat for placing small pots or teapots.The lining is made from cotton with quilted stitching. The deep teal lining contrasts beautifully with the gray outer fabric. Quilting is a sewing technique that stitches three layers—outer fabric, inner cotton padding, and lining—together to prevent shifting.It is perfect for lifting hot pot lids—the soft fabric conforms to your fingers, making it easy to grasp even small handles.If you have two mittens, they can also be used for holding seiro steamers or oven trays with both hands.
It has a relatively shallow fit, so if you have larger hands or find it a little snug when worn, you can also use it as a pot holder without putting your hand inside.
It is washable and quick-drying, so you can use it without worry even if it gets slightly dirty.
Soft and warm to the touch, this “Gara-bou” mitten fits comfortably in your hand. Please make it a part of your daily kitchen essentials.
__Gara-bou: A Japanese Spinning Tradition__
“Gara-bou” refers to yarn spun using the Gara-bou Spinning Machine, a spinning machine developed in Japan during the early Meiji period.
Cotton is packed into a cylinder and slowly drawn upward while being rotated and twisted, producing a gentle “gara-gara-gara” sound—the origin of the name “Gara-bou.”
Today, only a handful of these traditional machines remain in operation, making them an extremely rare and valuable part of Japan’s textile heritage.
Because the yarn is spun slowly, allowing air to be incorporated into the fibers, it has a soft, hand-spun character with a natural, airy warmth. Light, warm, and breathable, Gara-bou yarn also dries surprisingly quickly.
This Gara-bou series is produced by Suno & Morrison, a Japanese brand dedicated to creating beautifully crafted, naturally textured textiles.
— Care Instructions —
* Hand wash gently with a mild detergent (do not use chlorine or enzyme-based bleach), or use the delicate/hand-wash cycle in a laundry net.
* Please note that slight variations in color or weave may occur due to the nature of the material.
* This item is dyed in India and treated for colorfastness; however, some fading may occur depending on the dyeing season (e.g., monsoon period) and conditions. We recommend washing it separately to avoid color transfer. For indigo-dyed items in particular, wash separately two or three times before use.
* Because each piece is hand-dyed and handwoven, there may be slight differences in color and pattern from the photos.
Please note: This item ships from Japan. As the buyer, you are responsible for any import duties, customs fees, or local taxes that may be charged in your country. These costs are not included in the item price or shipping cost. Please check with your local customs authority if you are unsure about any potential charges before placing your order.
