Full scarves indigo cotton using artisanal naturally dyed indigo.  The ancient technique of resist paste pattern making involves hand cutting the patterns out of a paper template, mixing rock lime and soy bean to make a resist paste that is spread over the template, through to the 100% natural calico cotton, creating the patterns.  Once dry the fabric is vat dyed in an indigo of over 20 years of continuous use, which achieves the highest quality and deepest indigo.  The edges are left un seamed so your scarf will fray and age like your favourite pair of jeans.  The cotton is soft but sturdy, ideal to keep the wind out of your neck.  Indigo scarves will become a part of your most loved accessories, especially for those who love indigo. The full scarves indigo cotton are large enough to worn in several styles that are attractive to men and women alike.

Artisanal hand indigo dyed, 'Lan Yin Hua Bu'
100% natural densely woven cotton (Weight 225GSM Weave 12s/14s ) with frayed edges and knotted ends for a raw natural look.  Our natural calico cotton is thick yet soft and comfortable and good for skin contact over long periods. Traditionally, 100% natural indigo has a natural anti bacterial quality.  We cannot guarantee that our scarves can have this continued antibacterial effect but natural plant dyes are better against the skin and to breath through then synthetic dyes. Google search on antibacterial effects of natural indigo. Hand-made, plant-dyed natural calico cotton with pattern created through an ancient method, by a traditional and recognised Indigo Master and his family, that uses hand cut Katazome paper patterns with a resist soy bean and natural rock lime paste technique. Please see our on line and instagram videos for how it's made. Because of these natural processes, and ethical practices this product is a sustainable fashion item. You can learn more about the Lan Yin Hua Bu dyeing process here.
Care as a face covering:
Wash after each use in minimum 60 degree celsius. Avoid contact with unwashed hands. Re-pleat if necessary and iron. Store in a clean sealed bag ( included in packaging). As a scarf: Wash with cold water and a light detergent before line drying. Do not bleach. Because of the deep rich blue of this artisanal hand dyed indigo, this piece will naturally age like denim, adding character.
