I hand-dyed new sashiko thread 20/8. This time, I have six colors available, so I'm selling them in small skeins. Limited stock. ☆ 20 meters x 6 skeins + a little extra (natural) ☆ Indigo gradation dye ☆ Indigo solid color with unevenness ☆ Red tree gradation dye ☆ Marigold flower gradation dye ☆ Lockwood gradation dye ☆ Indigo mottled dark All are hand-dyed. Each dye has its own characteristics. Please refer to the following. They are in small skeins for easy purchase. Please note that they are short in length. Hand-dyeing (indigo dyeing, persimmon tannin dyeing, plant dyeing) results in completely different colors depending on the season, time, weather, dyeing materials, dyer, and mordant. Also, they are vulnerable to friction and chemicals such as bleach. Hand washing or net washing with a neutral detergent is recommended. Please read only the relevant items below. ☆ Indigo Dye Since it's freshly dyed, the water may turn blue for the first 1-2 washes. This is the excess indigo on the surface coming off (not the same as fading that is fixed to the thread or fabric). Also, there is no need to worry about color transfer to other items, but it is safer to wash it with water before use. ☆ Plant Dye My plant dyeing mainly uses a primitive method of collecting plants and repeatedly boiling and dyeing them, but for plants that are not available in Japan, such as Lockwood and red tree, I use concentrated liquid. The colors will likely vary each time. Plant debris and fibers may be attached, but please understand that they are harmless. ☆ Persimmon Tannin Dye Persimmon tannin dyeing develops color through exposure to sunlight and wind during the drying process. I dye repeatedly by kneading the dye solution and sun-drying it once a day. Due to its characteristics, the finish has a crisp, starched-like feel. × Iron utilizes the black characteristics when it comes into contact with iron, producing a bitterness. Plus, because heat is added, the crispness is slightly softened. The color also gradually develops, and I hope you enjoy the process of it becoming darker.
