(I just try not to get it dirty--which defeats the purpose of being able to use the furoshiki for so many different purposes!) I did find this: http://www.ehow.com/how_2196393_wash-rayon.html I hope that helps! I haven’t had any luck with washing rayon, either.

Something slightly off topic I've been wondering about for a while now... how to wash/iron rayon? It seems to shrink in contact with water; I was stupid enough to steam-iron an *new* rayon furoshiki... #fail! The result is that I hardly dare use my furoshikis in fear of getting them stained! Any tips? Thanks! Thanks for sharing — I didn’t know the book/document wrapping technique yet!

It's amazing how one piece of fabric can be used in multiple ways and always looks very elegant. I'll try them definitely :) Thank you for this explanation!

As a quilter/seamstress I'm always looking for "new" ways to use fabric. This will be a great way to wrap gifts in fabric and have the wrapping be part of the gift. Thanks for the wonderful posting. I'll be sure to look for more! This is fabulous! As a quilter/seamstress I’m always looking for “new” ways to use fabric.
