Hank dyeing essentially means the yarns are dipped and dyed manually by hand, and it's quite different to "rope dying" which is how most indigo yarns are coloured. Hank dying takes a lot of care, attention to detail, and human involvement - but it inevitably produces more irregularities which we love. The technique is simple but time-consuming. Bundles of yarn, known as ‘skeins,’ are first rinsed to open the fibres. Then, the skeins are dipped in the dyeing vat, usually numerous times. Next, they’re washed and then dipped again. The process is repeated until the desired colour intensity is achieved. At this point, the yarn is steamed to fix the dye.
