Our P'tilim process starts out as a deep purple that turns to a deep teal when exposed to sunlight and washed in cold water. Our natural p'til techelet dyeing process includes one more washing where the water runs clear and the techelet dye is set in a natural process. It is natural for the natural techelet dye to "bleed" when washed and it also fades with each washing, just like blue Jeans. We recommend washing your techelet dyed tzit zits separately from your garment by hand washing them in cold water only and with no detergent. Even when washed in a mild detergent if cords are soiled can cause the techelet dye to bleed. This is "normal for natural dyes to bleed in very small amounts after cold water washing. Washing in cold water and no detergent will preserve the techelet dye of your cords for a longer duration of time. Tzittzits are traditionally not washed if they are placed on a tallit prayer shawl garment. (At no time is kelailan indigo dye is used.) All our cords are checked by Shatnez labs and are Rabbinically kosher approved. ספינות מי ריבקה שרי ® |
The Torah states in Numbers 15:38: "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, that they shall make
themselves fringes on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and they shall put on the
corner fringe a tekhelet thread." Wearing the tzitzit is also commanded in Deuteronomy 22:12, which says:
"You shall make yourself twisted cords, on the four corners of your garment with which you cover yourself."

| RIVKA SARI PERFORMS TWO QUALITY CHECKS BEFORE SHIPPING |
Ouestion: How can we use linen for techelet when the Talmud clearly states that techelet is made
with wool only? Answer The Rabbis do make exceptions when a person has allergies to wool and
to shellfish which they are sensitive like for example a vegetarian who wears natural fabrics only
may wear linen dyed with any other plant base dye, but must not use kelailan indigo plant base
dyes to fulfill the mitzvah of techelet. One may wear a linen tallit gadol or tallit katan who is
sensitive may wear a techelet made of linen and can be dyed with any other plant base or
synthetic dyes as long as it is not kelailan indigo plant base dye which the Talmud specifically says
it must not be used. The Ramah in Orach chayim 9:2 states that at present "it is customary not to
make linen tzitzits at all." However does not state that one cannot make linen tzit zits for a linen
garment. Chapter 2, Halachot 1-2 clearly states "it is best to use woolen strands for wool garment
and linen strands for linen garment." Therefore we do not break Torah or Halacha of Jewish Law.
This why we offer kosher 100% linen white and white with blue dyed cords.
Any more questions concerning tekhelet linen please e-mail Rivka Sari directly. Thank you!!
QuestionWhat is Shatnez?
Answer: Shatnez is a hebrew word for "combine, spun, mixing or woven together" . Shatnez is the
mixing of wool and linen specifically in Torah. "You shall not wear combined fibers of wool or linen
together" Deut 22:11. There is the Midrash suggests that the reason stems from the story of Cain
and Abel, as recorded in Genesis chapter 4. Cain brought God an offering of flax (the source of
linen) and Abel brought a sheep (wool). The incident resulted in Cain killing Abel, and it was thus
decreed that never again shall the two substances mix.
It is very important to buy kosher 100% pure linen or kosher 100% pure wool that has been
checked by shatnez lab and is certified kosher to ensure that the strands have not been processed
through a machine or weaving mill that mixes or manufactures both of these fibers.
