This design is called 'Knot', and it symbolises the ties of love and kindness between us.
It's a reversible textile with a wonderful brick red pattern on one side, which contrasts with the repeated inky blue design on the reverse.
Notice the lovely weave and texture of the fabric. The stiffness and the weight of the textile lends itself to furoshiki, creating cleaner folded corners, and ties that can be shaped to look aesthetically pleasing.
It's a piece that will stand out in a crowd if created into a bag, but would look equally striking as a wall-hanging.
The uses for furoshiki are as broad as your imagination!
It's fun to learn how to make all sorts of furoshiki bags and gift wrap. Just check out our Furoshiki Tutorials page for lots of ideas and videos!
