This prevents the Indigo from getting on certain areas on the fabric. After the dying process which takes place several times the "papp" is removed and the dyed fabric is done. Those indigo-dyed fabrics are usually totall washable.
I have a online - shop for those fabric here in germany. You can contact me. Can I post a link here?

Indigo-dyed fabric (the darker ones) need to be washed before
