I hand-dyed new sashiko threads. This time, I have 8 colors, so I made them into small hanks. Limited quantity. They are made into small hanks for easy purchase. Please note that they are short in length. For those who want to try various colors in small amounts! ☆ 30 meters x 8 hanks From the left: ☆ Marigold flower dye ☆ Marigold flower dye x indigo ☆ Persimmon tannin dye (layered) ☆ Lockwood variegated dye ☆ Indigo mottled dye ☆ Mint variegated dye ☆ Red wood dye ☆ Indigo plain uneven (dark) All are hand-dyed. Each dye has its own characteristics. Please refer to the following. They are made into small hanks for easy purchase. Please note that they are short in length. ☆ 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, and it's different from fading that occurs in the thread or fabric. Also, there's no need to worry about color transfer to other items, but it's safer to wash it 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 wood, I use concentrated solutions. The colors may vary each time. Plant debris and fibers may be attached, but please understand that they are harmless. ☆ Persimmon tannin dye Persimmon tannin dye develops color through exposure to sunlight and wind during the drying process. I dye it repeatedly by kneading the dye solution and drying it in the sun 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, creating a subtle astringency. Plus, because heat is applied, the crispness is slightly softened. The color will gradually develop and change, and I hope you enjoy the process of it becoming darker.
