[Fair trade, ethical products]
This cotton yarn has been dyed by Karen women in Thailand using local plants.
A set containing 22 colors in 1mm thickness sizes.
To make it easier to try out, I made a 12m skein of thread.
The thick thread makes the stitches easier to see, so it's great for stitching large patterns.
The natural and warm texture created by natural materials and handwork is attractive.
The flickering colors are expressive and deep, making you want to stare at them forever.

*Please note that due to the nature of the material and the handmade nature of the product, there may be unevenness in color, as well as individual differences in size, weight, and color tone between lots.
(If you want to have the same color, please purchase enough for your production in one order.)
*There may be knots along the way.
*Can also be used for works for exhibition or sale.
We would be happy if you could use our space for a wide range of purposes, from handmade hobbies to creating artworks and workshops.
If you require a large quantity or have a request for the thickness of the thread, please feel free to contact us by message.
*At first, the color may fade little by little when washed (especially indigo colors).
*We recommend washing by hand using a neutral detergent. If you use a washing machine, wash it by itself in a laundry net on a gentle cycle (hand wash mode). However, using a washing machine may cause damage to the threads and cause the color to fade.
*Please check the following care instructions and precautions before purchasing.

*About the product.
We make our products by hand using natural materials, so unlike ready-made products, the weave, seams, colors, patterns, etc. are not uniform.
Karen dyeing, weaving, embroidery and sewing are traditional techniques handed down as home crafts rooted in daily life. They are different from professional techniques.
We strive to work precisely, but unlike ready-made products or products made by professionals, there are some imperfections. Please understand that this is the flavor of handiwork handed down from mother to daughter, and we hope you will understand this before purchasing.

[How to care for plant-dyed and hand-woven products]
Compared to chemical dyes, vegetable dyed products are less resistant to washing and sunlight, and the color will change with use. Please pay attention to the following points when caring for and using the products.
Color transfer or fading may occur due to friction or getting wet. Please be careful of color transfer when wearing or using light-colored clothing or bags. If you wear it with dark-colored clothing or bags, color transfer will be less noticeable. Dark colors in particular tend to fade easily, so we recommend washing it once before wearing it.
We also recommend washing by hand separately from other clothes. If you use a washing machine, use a neutral detergent, place in a laundry net, wash separately from other clothes, and use a gentle cycle. Avoid using a dryer and hang to dry in the shade.
-About gluing.
In the case of fabric products, threads may be starched with rice, but the starch will come off after washing 2-3 times.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us!
