‼️*This item uses a very difficult dyeing method, primarily white. It's a rare type. It's a user-friendly square shape! Works perfectly for round tables and long tables! This is a hand-tied, genuine indigo-dyed cotton cloth given to me by a friend from Yunnan Province, China. Everything is handmade to complete a single tablecloth. The intricate tie-dye patterns are created by wrapping cotton thread around the fabric, then immersing it in a vat of natural indigo dye, repeating the dyeing process over 20 times. After drying, the threads are untied to complete the process. ⚠️‼️ Production in the local area is drastically decreasing year by year due to labor costs, a shortage of skilled artisans, and a decline in the production of natural indigo, making this a rare item. New arrivals are also decreasing, and as I am selling it for less than 1/3 of the original selling price, I cannot offer discounts, except for repeat customers. Cloth size: Approximately 140cm x 140cm (No.105112) The display table is 120cm x 75cm wide and 35cm high. 100% cotton, hand-tied indigo dye No sashiko stitching Color Fastening, Usage, and Washing Tips. ● Color Fastening Dissolve a heaping spoonful of salt in an appropriate amount of cold water (enough to fully submerge the cloth) and soak overnight. Wash gently in the washing machine and dry in the shade. This will set the natural indigo dye and remove the brownish-green discoloration, restoring the original vibrancy of the indigo. If the color becomes dull during use, it will become vibrant again using this method. ● Usage Be careful as the color may transfer due to friction when used with light-colored fabrics or leather products. Be careful when using it as a bed cover or sofa cover. It is recommended to use it after repeating color fastening and washing several times. ● Washing Since indigo dye will bleed during washing, causing color transfer, it cannot be washed with other items for at least 2-3 times. At my home, I use it as a tablecloth and bed cover. The fabric is thick and sturdy, and it's a beloved item that I can enjoy for a long time while appreciating the changes in color. ※ Although it is wrapped in wrapping paper and stored in a cool, dark place, due to the cotton material and natural indigo dye, the areas exposed to air may slightly discolor due to the oxidation of the dye. This can be alleviated by repeating color fastening and washing several times. As you can see in the explanatory photos, it is handmade, and the handling is also done by hand. If you are concerned about variations in the shade of the dye, please refrain from purchasing. #IndigoDyeTablecloth #NaturalPlantDye #GenuineIndigoDye
