Store away from direct light to help preserve the indigo shade.
Keep away from acidic and alkaline substances.
Wash with a neutral detergent; some color loss occurs in water and the dye fades gradually over time.
Handwoven on traditional looms, so small slubs, uneven threads, traces of cotton seed, and slightly frayed cut edges are natural to the cloth rather than flaws. Hand-dyeing means subtle mottling and slight shade differences from one length to another.

A closer look
This fabric is a plant-dyed indigo blue handwoven cotton cloth, woven on traditional looms from hand-spun yarn, giving it the character of a classic old-style "earth cloth." The weave is a plain, even construction with a matte, non-reflective surface and a visible plain-weave texture of intersecting warp and weft threads. The hand-spun yarn produces subtle irregularities across the surface, including small slubs, thick-and-thin thread variation, tiny loose thread ends, and occasional traces of cotton seed, all of which are natural characteristics of the hand-loomed material rather than flaws. The overall look is rustic and artisanal, with a soft, slightly nubby grain and gentle crinkle and drape visible where the cloth folds and rolls.
The color is a deep, saturated indigo blue applied with plant-based dyeing. Across the rolled bolts and unrolled lengths, the shade shifts between darker navy tones in the shadows and folds and slightly lighter, dustier blue tones where the light catches the surface, giving a soft tonal gradient. The dyeing is described as even overall, but as a hand-dyeing process it can show subtle mottling, blotchy variation, and irregular patterning in places, and different rolls can differ slightly in color. Under varying indoor and outdoor lighting and on different displays, the appearance of the blue may shift somewhat, so the shade is not perfectly uniform between viewings.
In terms of dimensions, the fabric width measures 45 to 50 centimeters, a relatively narrow bolt typical of traditional handloom cloth, and the thickness is 0.4 to 0.5 millimeters, making it a lightweight, finely woven material with a thin, flexible hand. The cloth is shown in multiple tight rolls stacked together, with the rolled ends revealing the spiral layering of the thin fabric, and also shown unrolled flat and draped, displaying its soft, pliable drape and slightly crinkled, textured surface. The cut edges show a raw, slightly frayed selvage with fine loose fibers along the length.
The material is plant-dyed, and this type of natural dyeing develops a gradual fade in color intensity over time, with some color loss occurring during water washing; different plant dyes hold color to varying degrees. Care for the fabric involves keeping it away from direct light when storing, avoiding contact with acidic and alkaline substances, and washing with a neutral detergent to preserve the dye. The fabric has no printed patterns, logos, engravings, or embellishments; its decoration comes entirely from the weave texture and the natural tonal variation of the plant-dyed indigo.
Intended uses for the cloth include table linens and runners, handcraft and DIY projects, bag making, interior decoration fabric, and sewn clothing. Its narrow width and thin, lightweight thickness make it well suited to layered, stitched, or gathered projects where the handwoven texture and artisanal indigo color are showcased.
