I hand-dyed this item using 100% new cotton fabric. ☆ Persimmon tannin dye (layered) × Iron ☆ Size: Approximately 90 x 135 cm (after dyeing) ☆ The crispness and wrinkles are characteristic of the process. ☆ Almost no transparency Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a soft fabric. ☆ This year's final item! Only this item! The next dyeing period is undecided. Hand dyeing (indigo dyeing, persimmon tannin dyeing, plant dyeing) results in completely different colors depending on the season, time, weather, dyeing materials, the dyer, and the mordant. Also, it is vulnerable to friction and chemicals such as bleach. We recommend hand washing or net washing with a neutral detergent. Please read the following only if applicable. ☆ Indigo Dyeing Since it has just been dyed, the water may turn blue for the first one or two washes. This is because the excess indigo on the surface has come off, and it is 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 Dyeing 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 liquid. The colors will likely vary each time. Plant debris and fibers may be attached, but please understand that they are harmless. ☆ Persimmon Tannin Dyeing Persimmon tannin dyeing develops color by being exposed to sunlight and wind during the drying process. I dye it repeatedly by kneading the dye solution and sun-drying it once a day. Due to its characteristics, the finish has a crisp feel, as if it has been heavily starched. × Iron utilizes the property of iron turning black when it comes into contact with iron, giving it a unique astringency. In addition, because heat is applied, the crispness is slightly softened. The color will also gradually develop and deepen, and I hope you will enjoy the process of change.
