vintage yakata cottons






Each bolt is 14" wide and 12 yards long.

There is no good explanation for why I have been importing bolts of vintage yukata fabrics. Blue and white aren’t my colors. And I certainly don’t need 500 more yards of cotton in my life.

Yet I feel compelled to collect these 40- to 50-year old rolls of hand-printed cottons. Maybe it’s my life-long interest in Japan. And maybe it’s my love of quilting.

  2. Or maybe it's because you have impeccable taste. They are sublime.
