I hand-dyed new sashiko thread 20/4. This time, I have seven colors available, so I'm listing them. These are the ones I kept as spares after they safely reached everyone's hands. ☆ 25 meters x 7 skeins ☆ Indigo gradation dye ☆ Red wood gradation dye ☆ Marigold flower dye ☆ Marigold flower dye x Indigo ☆ Lockwood gradation dye ☆ Camellia indigo fresh leaf dye ☆ Indigo solid color unevenness All are hand-dyed. Each dye has its own characteristics. Please refer to the following. They are made into 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 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 one or two washes. This is due to the excess indigo on the surface washing off (it's different from fading that has set into the thread or fabric). Also, there's no need to worry about color transfer to other items, but washing it before use will give you more peace of mind. ☆ 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 wood, 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 utilizes the blackening property when it comes into contact with iron, bringing out the astringency. 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.
