Hand dyed in Aurora Silk’s Natural Fermentation Indigo Vat. The colour is built up in four or five long "dips," which makes for a very even, very dark blue. The Natural Indigo we are now using is a exceptional quality 59% Indigotin, hand processed, cosmetic grade, organically grown indigo from a rural resurgence project in El Salvador.
Our dark Indigo is a very fast colour, both to light and washing. True Indigo may “rub” slightly, but as we keep our vats very well maintained, rubbing is at a minimum. Note that Indigo is a natural skin healer and many traditional cultures wear indigo to promote skin health.
True Indigo, naturally fermented imparts a characteristic scent to the fabric. This slight scent is a natural insect repellant. Learn to recognize it and you will never be fooled by synthetic substitutes!
