Indigo - Arcturus

This batch is final sale

Fair warning: this batch turned out drier and dustier than I'd like and the price reflects that.

Part of the experience of working with naturally dyed yarns is that they're imperfect, and they come with leftover bits of plant dye no matter how much they're rinsed. Also, indigo dyed items can and definitely will rub off on your hands, and basically anything you rub it against, so please bear that in mind.
