Indigo-dyed Organic Cotton Sunshade Arm Cover [Yoryu Fabric]

Indigo-dyed Organic Cotton Sunshade Arm Cover [Yoryu Fabric] I dyed some willow fabric with indigo and made arm covers. Arm covers that highlight the beauty of indigo dyeing. This fabric is made in Takashima, Kosai, Lake Biwa, the home of Takashima chijimi, yosegi, and crepes. A tightly twisted weft thread is used, and the force of the thread trying to untwist creates the "grain" texture. The tight twist gives it a crisp feel and the unevenness creates breathability, making it a summer material that feels comfortable against the skin. Willow fabric has long been used for summer underwear and is characterized by its moderate stretchability and a pleasant, crisp, cool feel similar to Linen. The uneven texture of the fabric keeps the sun off your skin. The vertical grain gives it an elegant look. They are made to be loose fitting, so are recommended for those who don't like tight fitting arm covers. A traditional natural indigo dye that is said to have deodorizing and antibacterial properties. Enjoy the beauty of the colors. Perfect for use in hot weather. The design allows the fingertips to be exposed, making it easy to work even when wearing gloves. It won't slip off even if you put your hands down. ◎ Recommended as a gift for Mother's Day, etc. Wrapping is free, so please feel free to ask. .................................................................................................................... *The fabric used is organic cotton certified by Avanti Co., Ltd.

[About washing] You can wash it by hand at home. You can also put it in a laundry net and wash it on a gentle cycle. We recommend using detergent that does not contain fluorescent agents or bleach. Fabric softener is not necessary. - About indigo dyeing - We ask a dyeing shop in Shimane Prefecture that has been passed down through generations for 150 years. By repeatedly dyeing the fabric, the indigo penetrates deep into the fibers, making the fabric and thread stronger. Indigo dyeing has excellent antibacterial and germicidal properties, making it highly valued for use in clothing and other everyday fabrics. - About washing - Unlike Indian indigo, natural indigo rarely transfers color even when washed. However, please wash it separately at first until the color settles. If the color transfers to an item that was washed together with dark indigo, it will come off naturally. Please wash in a laundry net and then dry in the shade. ◎Please dry in the shade.
