      Because the whole point about rope dyeing is that the indigo oxidises on the surface of the yarn and does not penetrate to the core.

      That is why blue jeans fade to white….

        Ah, I see, that makes sense. I had assumed that the multiple dips were to help the dye penetrate. Instead, I suppose it is to create additional layers of dye on the outside while keeping the core untouched?

                                            Thanks @adam313 , for all of this. I don’t know which I love more. The invocation of galaxies and oceans, alien landscapes is sublime.
