Please do not handle with wet hands or fingers. Traditionally used for kimono fabrics like Tango chirimen, etc. If you are using this yarn as a warp, we strongly suggest using a sectional warping back beam for the minimal touching of the yarn. Please avoid any moisture, which may take off the starch on the surface of the yarn until woven.
