The cocoon is a cross between a jacket and a shawl. It has armholes but drapes beautifully --
basiicallly "A shawl you can drive in." These cocoons are truly "one size fits most" (size SM to 2XL). |
Above: silk cocoons. At right: chenille cocooon. Bamboo cocoons are also available, with
even lighter drape and softer feel than silk. Colors and decor vary from month to
month, but are generally available in "color families" - i.e., natural and tan, rust and
burgundies, blue and mauves, greens, yellows, reds, sometimes black or white. Some
with "sparkle" effects. All our handwoven products are washable. Prices range from
$189 to $245. |
Our newest product are cocoon jackets made from
bamboo fiber, shown at left. Bamboo yarn is
extremely hard to get, but the end result is a
fantastic tight weave, softer than silk and with a
marvelous drape. It also carries dyes more brightly
than silk. The bamboo fabric has unusual
breatheability and coolness and provides excellent
moisture absorbtion and ventilation. Truly the
fabric of the future, keeping the wearer cool and
comfortable. Its anti-bacterial qualities have been
shown to remain in the fabric through 50 washes.
100% bio-degradable. Very limited quantities, call
for selection. $245 |
