Fabric Options
1. Yellow Vine–Dyed Cotton
Handwoven cotton dyed with hoàng đằng, a plant traditionally used in Vietnam to produce natural yellow shades. The fabric has a warm, earthy yellow color with subtle variations created by the plant dyeing process.
The final shade may vary depending on the dye bath, water, number of dyeing cycles, and characteristics of each fabric roll.
2. Undyed Natural Cotton
Handwoven cotton in its original, uncolored state. This option retains the natural off-white shade and texture of the cotton fiber.
It can be used as-is or prepared for natural dyeing, textile experiments, sewing, and other craft projects.
From Cotton Plant to Handwoven Fabric
The fabric is made through a series of traditional processes practiced by ethnic communities in the mountainous regions of Vietnam.
Growing and harvesting
Cotton is grown in upland fields. After approximately five to six months, the cotton bolls open and are harvested by hand, then dried before processing.
Removing the seeds
The cotton is passed through a traditional tool to separate the seeds from the soft fiber.
Fluffing the cotton
A cotton bow is used to loosen the fibers, remove remaining debris, and prepare the cotton for spinning.
Spinning
The loose cotton is spun into yarn using a hand-operated spindle or spinning wheel. This stage requires careful control to produce yarn with suitable strength and consistency.
Sizing the yarn
The yarn may be treated with a rice- or starch-based sizing solution. This strengthens the yarn and helps reduce breakage during weaving.
Preparing the loom
The yarn is arranged and tensioned on a traditional wooden loom. Setting up the warp is one of the most time-consuming stages and directly affects the structure of the finished fabric.
Handweaving
The fabric is woven by hand. Depending on its length and weave, completing one piece may take several days or weeks.
Washing
After weaving, the cloth is washed to remove sizing and other residues. The undyed fabric may then be kept in its natural state or prepared for plant dyeing.
Traditional Yellow Vine Dyeing
Hoàng đằng, commonly described in English as yellow vine, contains a naturally occurring yellow pigment. The plant material is prepared and simmered in water to extract the color.
The dye liquid is then filtered before the handwoven cotton is immersed in the bath. The fabric may be heated, soaked, removed, and returned to the dye bath several times until the desired shade is achieved.
After dyeing, the cloth is rinsed to remove excess pigment, dried in the shade, and softened by hand.
Because the color comes from plant material and is applied by hand, each batch may produce a slightly different shade, ranging from warm golden yellow to deeper earthy yellow.

Important Notes
This listing is for one 10-meter roll.
Each roll is handmade, so slight differences in width, weight, weave, texture, and color are expected.
Hand-dyed colors may vary between batches and may not be completely uniform throughout the roll.
The undyed fabric has a natural off-white shade rather than a factory-bleached white.
Plant-dyed fabric may release some excess color during the first few washes.
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may gradually affect natural plant-dyed colors.
Actual colors may appear slightly different depending on lighting and screen settings.
Please allow a manual measurement variation of approximately ±2 cm in width.
