EN: to dye with indigo
Before there was "tina" from the department store, there was this. This is the OG, all-natural way to get that perfect blue for your pre-colonial OOTD. It's the process of using the 'tayom' or indigo plant to dye fabrics. Very artisanal, very traditional, and probably smells better than chemical dyes.
From 'tayom', the Tagalog name for the indigo plant.
This is a very specific, traditional term related to weaving and fabric dyeing.
