Traditional fabric from Wuzhen, China brought to you by traveler Alyx Bean.
"For over a millennium, indigo cloth has been a popular artifact of Chinese folk culture. In the water town of Wuzhen, China, the practice of dyeing fabric with a natural indigo hue is well-preserved. Through an intricate process, craftsmen work to hand print floral designs on each length of fabric. Once a wax print is complete, it is dipped into an indigo dye, most often made from bluegrass and other natural ingredients. The fabric is then brought out to the scaffolds to hang dry. Indigo dyed fabric is extremely popular in Wuzhen due to its attractive style and affordability, and thus it can be found in nearly every household. Residents most often use the dyed fabric for practical purposes such as tablecloths, curtains, and bags. For visitors, it is a precious souvenir worth taking home! " —Alyx Bean
