[Shawl] Organic cotton / Indigo blue / Dark blue gradation

Soft to the touch

This fluffy shawl is made of organic cotton gauze and dyed with indigo. It is soft and comfortable, and is recommended for people with sensitive skin. It is gentle and enveloping.

Indigo Gradation

I dye it when the indigo vat is not doing so well. This allows the lighter parts to take on the color quickly and beautifully. I hope you enjoy the beauty of the color changing from dark indigo to light blue to white. It's also recommended as a gift for both men and women.

■ Production Story

In Itoshiro, indigo leaves are grown, indigo is brewed, and dyed during the summer.

During the indigo dyeing season, I feel like I have more children. That's because I have to keep an eye on the indigo and take good care of it. Managing the indigo vats is hard work, but it makes up for it by producing such beautiful colors.

In the past, indigo dyeing was incorporated into daily life as a form of "beauty with utility," as people used to wear indigo clothing while working in the mountains to ward off vipers and as it also had insect repellent properties.

When we run out of colors to dye, we would like to continue natural indigo dyeing in this area, ultimately returning the fabric to the earth.
