Sarong, naturally dyed in indigo or cashmere, cotton, knotted in Shibori

Knotted in the Shibori technique, dyed with real indigo and handwoven in cotton batiste - it can't get any better!
Shibori is a batik technique that dates back to the 8th century in Japan where indigo was also used as a dye. At Aranya, people have learned the shibori technique from masters from Japan and the USA. The plants are picked from the fields outside and prepared in a so-called water, deep thin, with regular stirring according to the own recipe.
