I hand-dyed new sashiko threads. Approximately 360 meters x 2 skeins ☆ Indigo mottled dye = ¥1150 ☆ Indigo mottled dye (light) = ¥1100 1150 + 1100 = 2250 → ¥2200 I also sell them individually, but for single items only, the price will be +¥150. Thank you for your understanding. Note: Because they are hand-dyed, all colors are different. Please be aware that you cannot add threads of the exact same color later. Hand-dyeing (indigo dyeing, persimmon tannin dyeing, plant dyeing) results in 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 neutral detergent is recommended. Please read the following only if applicable. ☆ Indigo Dye Since it's freshly dyed, the water may turn blue for the first 1-2 washes. This is due to the excess indigo on the surface coming off (it's different from fading that has set into 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 redwood and redwoods, I use concentrated solutions. 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: Taking advantage of the blackening property when it comes into contact with iron, I bring out the astringency. Plus, because heat is added, the crispness is slightly softened. The color also gradually develops, and I hope you will enjoy the process of it becoming darker.
