Which objects were dyed and printed with indigo in Ticino?
In Ticino, indigo dyeing and printing were mainly used for large double blankets or bedspreads, which were the most sought-after and expensive products (often commissioned as wedding gifts). Head scarves, ribbons (ribbons attached to the bottom of skirts and aprons) and men's neck scarves were also highly sought-after.
