90% Wool, 10% silk. Bolt for kimono typically has 11-12 yard of 14” wide fabric. This abstract tiny motif is sometimes referred to as “mosquito".

Kasuri (Ikat) is a technique in which warp yarns, weft yarns, or both are mounted on a frame, and then bound in thread (tied to prevent dye  penetration, i.e. tie dyed) and then dip-dyed. The threads are then dried and loosened, and then carefully woven on a loom to form the pattern. The variabilities in alignment yield a soft fuzziness at the edges of the motifs characteristic of the technique. Kasuri textiles are produced in silk, in a wide range of colors in ramie, in cotton, and wool, and are typically indigo-dyed.
