I hand-dyed new sashiko threads. Approximately 180 meters x 2 skeins ☆ Indigo Marbled (Dark) = 1150 ☆ Indigo Marbled (Light) = 1100 2250 → 2200 (Combined Price) Note: Due to hand-dyeing, all colors are different. Please be aware that it will not be possible to 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, it is vulnerable to friction and chemicals such as bleach. Hand washing or net washing with a neutral detergent is recommended. Please read the following only if applicable. ☆ Indigo Dyeing 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 occurs in the thread or fabric). There's no need to worry about color transfer to other items, but washing it before use will provide extra peace of mind. ☆ Plant Dyeing My plant dyeing primarily 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 brazilwood, I use concentrated solutions. The colors tend to 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 through exposure to sunlight, wind, and the drying process. The dyeing process involves rubbing the dye solution in once a day and sun-drying repeatedly. Due to its characteristics, the finish has a crisp, starched-like feel. × Iron: The black characteristic is utilized by contact with iron, creating a depth of color. In addition, heat is applied, so the crispness is slightly softened. The color will gradually develop and deepen, and I hope you enjoy the process of change.
