Indigo dye
Living vats, linen folded by hand, eleven dips. The colour keeps moving for a week.
Quick answer
Indigo dye is a living craft. A natural vat is fed and kept alive; linen is folded, dipped eleven times, then oxidised in the air from green to blue. Every fold leaves a white line, so no two scarves carry the same pattern. Pieces are made to order and ship in five to seven days.

Questions
- Will the colour rub off?
- Rinse in cold water the first time. After that it settles and only softens with wear.
- Can I choose the pattern?
- You can choose a family of folds. The exact lines depend on the vat that day.
