            Have been touring IH factories and mills today - pics to follow (so many to edit!) But until then, here’s a IH teddy given to us by Haraki San

              So have been editing the factory visit images. We do plan to make a video showing the process from beginning to completed piece (that will come soon) but until then here’s a few images of the pre indigo yarn (more teaser pics will follow as I edit!…)

                            @Steve Great photo. I imagine you've been spending some time with him on your trip. Could you share more about his personality? I imagine he might need a certain level of intensity and focus to do what he does. But he also seems joyful and a bit silly at times, at least on social media. Do you communicate in English or through a translator? I would be interested to learn more.

                                  In fact, Haraki chooses the smaller mills on the basis of how good the mechanic is and thus how able he is to keep the machines running well....

                                    What's the smell like, what's more predominant? Smell from the fabric, or from the machines?

                                      @68degreesorless Haraki-San is very focused on his work/design, but very open to ideas, he does have an understanding of English, but we do use Sarina to translate.

                                        @tody to be quite honest I can not remember any smells, but sometimes, depending on the factory it is very loud and quite an attack on your senses!
