USE & CARE
- The nib holder will reveal the true color of the indigo with use. If it dries out, apply a little beeswax.
- Friction may cause color or wax transfer.
- To prevent fading, avoid soaking the nib holder in water, sudden temperature changes, and prolonged exposure to sunlight.
- Due to the nature of the material and its treatment, color and grain may vary from piece to piece.
- If ink gets on the wood, clean with a soft cloth.
- When removing your nib, pull gently while turning to avoid detaching the holder.
- After rinsing, shake well downward to remove all water or ink before inserting the nib.
