Line / Collection: Muddy Works — by Tomotake (a Japanese artisan pair)
Pattern / Motif: Mini Anpan (small “anpan” — red bean bun motif)
Fabric Type / Code: Cotton Double Gauze — EKX series, variant “1D” / “D” colorway
Manufacturer / Brand: Kokka / Muddy Works (Kokka distributes / prints these)
Fiber Content: 100% cotton (double gauze)
Weave / Style: Double gauze (i.e. two super-fine gauze layers stitched or tacked together intermittently) — gives softness, lightness, gentle drape, “pillowy” texture.
Width: ~ 42″ (about 106 cm)
Print / Pattern Characteristics
The motif is mini anpan — small bread bun shapes repeated across the fabric.
Because it is “mini,” the scale is smaller / more subtle compared to bolder anpan prints
Hand / Drape: Soft, lightweight, breathable; becomes softer after washing (a trait of double gauze)
Uses & Applications
This kind of fabric is ideal for:
Apparel: lightweight tops, dresses, blouses, tunics
Children’s / baby items: dresses, rompers, shirts, swaddles, bibs
Accessories: scarves, wraps
Light textile crafts: handkerchiefs, furoshiki wraps, soft decorative items
Interior / décor accents (in less stress areas): lightweight curtains, decorative cloths
Double gauze is especially nice for garments that benefit from softness and breathability, rather than structure.
Care, Handling & Notes
Prewash: Important, as cotton and gauze fabrics often shrink. Pre-washing helps avoid surprises.
Washing: Gentle cycle / cold water recommended
Drying: Line dry or gentle tumble (low) if needed — avoid high heat to preserve fabric integrity and minimize distortion
Pressing: Iron gently; use steam; pressing while damp helps
Opacity: Double gauze is somewhat sheer in some lights; for garments you may want to consider lining or layering in sensitive areas
