Hmong fabric handwoven hemp Karen shirt neutral gray embroidered tribal ethnic clothing boho natural vegetable dye tassel textile CC37
Dark gray, white, pink, etc...
This is a hand made fabric by the Karen or Karian ethnic group of Thailand and Burma. It is hand woven on a traditional back-strap loom with hemp colored using natural, organic, vegetable dyes. This is a more expensive and time-consuming process than using chemical dyes but results in the enchanting character and soft hues of the colors you see in the photos.
Because of the narrow size of a back-strap loom (narrow to fit the size of the weavers back), the fabric width is correspondingly narrow and this shirt/tunic is constructed of two separate lengths of fabric, folded over at the shoulder of the garment and hand sewn together both on the sides and in the middle front and back. You may of course wear it as a tunic…or it can be re-purposed into cushions, bags, table runners, throws, etc...
The dimensions are 41 in. in length x 23 in. in width per side and without the fringe. Meaning that if you took out the seams on the two sides you would have a piece of fabric 82 inches in length by 23 inches in width. Perfect condition.
