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). |
At left: silk cocoon. 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 $225. |
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. $225 |
We also offer lighter weight rayon cocoon jackets,
shown at right. These are also hand dyed and one-
of-a-kind. We usually have most color families in
stock. This is a very popular style and a perfect
price for gifts. Call for selection. $139 |
