Natural Indigo - Taika - AS-IS has dry/crunch texture & indigo leaf dust

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.

50% Tencel

50% Organic cotton

140m/153yds

100g/3.5oz

Tencel is optimal from a sustainability perspective, but also feels amazingly silky-soft and takes dye beautifully for dramatic, intense colours. I just had to make sure our next yarn had Tencel in it, and now it does. By adding organic cotton, it gives the yarn a nice body and squishiness; blended perfectly with the luxe, glossiness of the Tencel for a well-balanced, gorgeously soft yarn.

This Tencel and organic cotton blend yarn is chain plied for optimal loftiness so that you can enjoy the softness of these two gorgeous fibres without adding too much weight. The chain ply structure also gives a subtle stretch to the yarn.

Try Taika for your next sweater or casual top, or try a tote bag, or home decor accessories with it! (Did somebody say fabric plant pot?) This is an excellent yarn for beginners since it's so thick and easy to work with, you'll see the progress in your knitting or crochet quickly!
