History / History
Homespun is a scottish and Irish farmhouse in the UK, a simple woven fabric made from dyed wool and hand-stitched. It is said that the weaving was taught by a British missionary who had been in the area. However, it is said that Mr. Otoko Umehara of Towa-cho (now Hanamaki City) was the one who truly worked on the homespan and raised it to value as a product. The Umehara family has been operating farmers for generations, and as a combined management, breeding sheep, processing wool and weaving homespun. The technique was passed on to Goro, the son of the son, and Haruo Fukuda, who was under the influence of Otoko, succeeded in dyeing the homespun yarn with vegetable dyes, and Mr. Zenzo Oikawa, a town affected by Otoko, succeeded. The child became more widely used, as he was able to lay the foundation for the Michinoku Akane Society.
