that stuff looks great and the quality they manage to make with such super low tech tools is incredible. I would guess that the yarn spinning mostly isn't done by hand though, because that just makes way more sense to buy pre-made. I think this video probably is going to bring them a good number of customers, and it's very deserved. I would point out though that these clothes should probably be treated with extra care and most likely not washed by machine or with aggressive detergents, because those natural dyes almost certainly are not as stable as modern synthetics. and honestly, if you're not willing to make an exception and wash this stuff by hand, you don't appreciate the amount of care it took to make it. alternatively, if you have more money than time, you could bring it to a dry cleaner, they should know all the ways to avoid damaging all sorts of textiles.
