About this craft
Sasawashi yarn is made from kumasasa—a high-altitude bamboo grass native to mountainous regions of Japan (above 1000m). Yokota pioneered the technique of spinning this grass into washi paper thread, creating a fiber with natural antibacterial and UV-resistant properties unique to Japanese craft innovation.
Description

Wipe dry if damp; do not soak or wring. Use crochet hook size 5/0–7/0 for optimal drape. Air dry finished projects flat. The washi paper composition provides natural odor resistance, so frequent washing is not necessary.
