As with all genuine indigo-dyed textiles, a slight amount of colour transfer (known as crocking) may occur during the first few uses or washes. This is a natural characteristic of indigo dyeing and is not considered a defect. The amount of colour transfer will gradually reduce with use and washing. We recommend washing the yarn separately before first use and avoiding contact with light-coloured fabrics or hands if they are damp.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHand-dyed by Handmayk’s co-founder, Roya, in her Dubai studio, each skein is dyed in small batches, creating unique natural shades - no two skeins will ever be the same.
