Handwoven Ikat Scarves in Natural Indigo

Kram is the Thai indigo plant, fermented into a living dye vat. Because that vat is alive and shifts by the season and the feeding, the blue moves subtly from batch to batch — a signature of hand-dyeing, not a flaw. A perfectly uniform blue is the fingerprint of a machine.

Hand-wash cool, alone, with a mild soap and no bleach, then dry in the shade. New indigo can crock a little on the first wash; rinsing separately settles it. Over years the blue softens and deepens with wear.

Scarves are woven or dyed for you rather than kept in stock, and each listing carries the lead time. You can spot genuine handwoven cloth by its slightly uneven selvedge and natural colour variation — and each listing tells you the technique used and the province it was woven in.
