Kaya Woven Dishcloth (8 Layers)

Japanese dishcloths made of 8 layers of kaya fabric providing extra durability compared to 5 layers which regular dishcloths are made of. Kaya is a beautiful gauze-like cloth made of pure cotton fabric formerly and traditionally used as mosquito netting which is a specialty of Nara Prefecture, an ancient capital of Japan. Mosquito netting fabric (kaya) has high absorbency and durability and is perfect in dishcloths. The cloths are light and durable, easily folded for use and then spread out to dry. Over time, the cloths become soft and supple, and eventually, they make good rags.
