The plain weave structure (the simplest textile structure) may seem simple at first glance, but this &#8220;coarse weave&#8221; actually requires unique skills. Craftsmen cleverly use &#8220;starch&#8221; as a temporary glue to temporarily fix the cotton threads into a harder shape, allowing for even weaving of the breathable, airy mosquito netting fabric on the loom.<\/p>\n<p>When in use, washing the fabric will cause the &#8220;starch glue&#8221; to come off, and each cotton thread&#8217;s fibers will spread out, revealing the inherent softness of the cotton.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-19615\" src=\"https:\/\/organicwe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/ban-inoue-towel-making-1000x584.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/organicwe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/ban-inoue-towel-making-1000x584.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/organicwe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/ban-inoue-towel-making-160x93.jpg 160w, https:\/\/organicwe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/ban-inoue-towel-making.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The pure cotton gauze handkerchiefs\/rags are interwoven [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":19635,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"translation_content_en":""},"product_brand":[4110],"product_cat":[3877,179,3882,3876],"product_tag":[4056],"item_type":[],"item_tag":[4042],"product_promotion":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-19619","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_brand-ban-inoue","7":"product_cat-household-cleaning","8":"product_cat-new-arrival","9":"product_cat-towel-n-cotton-swabs","10":"product_cat-dishwashing","11":"product_tag-4056","12":"item_tag-plastic-reduction","14":"first","15":"instock","16":"shipping-taxable","17":"purchasable","18":"product-type-variable"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/organicwe.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/19619","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/organicwe.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/organicwe.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/organicwe.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19635"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/organicwe.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19619"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/organicwe.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=19619"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/organicwe.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=19619"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/organicwe.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=19619"},{"taxonomy":"item_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/organicwe.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/item_type?post=19619"},{"taxonomy":"item_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/organicwe.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/item_tag?post=19619"},{"taxonomy":"product_promotion","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/organicwe.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_promotion?post=19619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
