Rope dyed denim is recognised as the highest quality denim dyeing technique. This is due to the high level of colour uniformity and the rich colour that is achieved. Other dying methods such as slasher dyeing where the yarn is soaked in indigo baths, will not produce an even and consistent colour shade throughout the width and length.

Rope dyed denim is created by taking the cotton thread and twisting into a rope. The rope is then shortly and repeatedly dipped into indigo resulting in a dyed surface while the core remains a cotton colour. This process of dipping the yarn could be repeated up to 12 times, until desired colour. The ‘ring dyed’ yarns fades faster than yarn that are completely soaked with indigo, creating the denim look.

 In the first wash, colour will run from the fabric but the indigo will intensify. The fabric will also soften, as it will wash away the starch that has been applied during production.

Shrinkage: <3%

Care instructions:

The denim is indigo dyed. It needs to be wash separately for the dye to come out, but also to wash the starch out so they soften ALOT! After the first wash you will find the dye settles and minimal will come out in the next washes. 

Hand wash in Warm water. Do not Soak, Bleach or Wring. Drip Dry or Dry without delay away from direct Heat. Warm Iron. Dry Cleanable.

Milled origin: Japanese to Oeko-Tex standard.

I love The Gingham Studio products. Everything that I have purchased has been of high quality and wonderful to sew. Their service (mail - I order online etc)is timely and correspondence is spot on.
I have and would highly recommend them to either the beginner or advanced sewer.
