Silk Scarf - Indigo
Silk scarves naturally dyed with indigo.
Mordant
Soy Milk Mordanting is crucial in natural dyeing to enhance light and wash fastness. It creates a bond between the fiber and dye molecule and enables natural dyes to last longer and slows down fading.

Indigo Dyed (Middle Extraction)

Wash & Care
All naturally dyed colors are prone to fading if stored and exposed in direct sunlight for too long. While I mordant all of our naturally dyed garments, it is best to hand wash or light cycle wash in cool/lukewarm water and use a gentle washing detergent without any harsh chemicals and avoid bleach.
