This cotton yarn has been dyed by Karen women living in Thailand using local plants.
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.
In addition to weaving, it also looks really cute when used to make wall decorations like garlands, tassels, and wrapping paper.
I would be happy if you could use it freely.
This is a no twist yarn (yarn with no twist) or a loosely twisted yarn.
It is softer and more delicate than twisted yarn.
If you are using this for embroidery or knitting, we recommend cutting the thread into shorter lengths as it breaks easily.
You can choose one or two of the following colors. (Bulk purchase discounts available.)

[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 them.
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.
When using fabric products, threads may be starched with rice, but the starch will come off after washing.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us!
