Vintage Japanese cotton. Hand dipped in natural / botanical indigo. Light and soft, it would make an excellent scarf.

**Aizome, Japanese indigo cotton, is highly regarded and collected within Japan and across the world.

‘Ai’ (藍) means indigo and ‘some’ (染め) means dyeing. As a compound, 藍染め, is pronounced ‘aizome’ (ai-zo-me).

Deep shades of rich blue are produced with repeated immersion and airing. The deeper the blue, the higher the number of dips and the higher the value.
