Washi Paper Deep Exfoliating Mitt for the Body

Washi Paper Deep Exfoliating Mitt for the Body
£14.00
Ex Tax: £11.67
A deep-pile scrubbing mitt for those who want a stronger exfoliation when washing. Woven in Japan with a looped pile woven using a unique yarn composed entirely of paper — Sasawashi yarns are made from twisted strips of paper, the composition of which is part washi, and part kumazasa (a type of bamboo). The wider the strip the thicker the yarn, and once they have been spun they can be woven or knitted into products with with all the benefits of this new fabric — including high water and oil absorbency, natural antibacterial and deodorant power from the added Kumazasa, and a washing durability on par with Cotton. Machine washable, though a net is recommended. Measures 14cm by 20cm.

Care Advice

Do not use bleach, and wash in a laundry net. Please wash with similar colours, as the dye from other fabrics may run. Do not machine dry — air dry, bearing in mind that Sasawashi fabrics will take longer to dry due to being highly absorbent.
