HANJI Paper Yarn
$30.00
Hanji is more than just paper; it is the soul of Korean craftsmanship, created from the inner bark of the mulberry tree by skilled hands. Throughout history, hanji has been cherished across East Asia as a high-quality luxury, adored by artists and scholars for its beauty and durability. This same tradition produces hanji thread, which is softened, strengthened, and hand-dyed in small batches by artisans whose techniques have been passed down for generations. The result is a lightweight, durable thread with a gentle sheen and the quiet beauty of heritage in every fiber.
