Indigo dyeing has been a part of Japanese life since ancient times. Its deep hues and beauty that changes over time continue to fascinate fashion designers and creators around the world. At Shuttle Notes, we combine this traditional dyeing technique with modern sensibilities and weaving techniques to create one-of-a-kind textiles.
In this article, we will introduce textiles that are "indigo-dyed yarn." By dyeing the yarn in indigo and then weaving it, deep colors and complex textures appear on the surface of the fabric. Rather than just a plain weave, the addition of an elaborate woven pattern brings out the depth of the indigo in a more three-dimensional way.
With repeated wear and washing, the color of these fabrics gradually fades, and each one ages differently. This process is the true joy of indigo dyeing. No two pieces are the same, and each textile develops its own unique character.
Shuttle Notes aims to embody the spirit of "learning from the past to create something new." While paying homage to traditional techniques, we pursue new textile expressions that harmonize with modern lifestyles. From weaving yarn to dyeing, design, weaving, and finishing, we have meticulously crafted every step of the fabric production process—this is a luxury that "wears time" that cannot be fully explained by functionality or fashion alone.

The Beauty of Time – Indigo-Dyed Woven Textiles
Indigo dyeing has long been a part of Japanese craftsmanship, admired for its deep hue and the way it gracefully evolves with time. At Shuttle Notes, we merge this time-honored tradition with refined weaving techniques to create textiles that are truly one of a kind.
The fabric featured here is made with indigo-dyed yarn , dyed at the yarn stage and then woven into cloth. This method results in a richer, more nuanced tone that only deepens with age. Rather than a plain weave, we incorporate subtle woven patterns that enhance the depth and texture of the indigo, adding dimension and elegance to the fabric.
As the fabric is worn and washed, the indigo naturally fades, revealing a unique character that reflects the passage of time. This aging process is not a flaw, but rather the very essence of indigo's charm—no two garments age in the same way, making each piece personal and irreplaceable.
At Shuttle Notes, we embrace the philosophy of “Onko Chishin” —honoring tradition while pursuing innovation. Every step of our process, from yarn dyeing to pattern design, weaving, and finishing, is carried out with precision and care. The result is a textile that transcends trends and function—a fabric that allows you to wear the beauty of time itself.
We invite you to experience the story that indigo tells, in the form of cloth.
