The production of Yumigahama kasuri textiles requires the time-consuming process of thread spinning. A cotton gin is used to extract cotton seeds from raw cotton. Then, a spinning wheel is used to spin the raw cotton into thread. The force of the spinning wheel creates a twisting movement, allowing the cotton fibers to be spun into thread.
