[Festival Goods Trivia | What is Clear Dye Removal?] ■ Fabric dyed in a single color is called "clear". *Clear dyeing = plain dyeing ■ Clear dye removal is a very elaborate dyeing technique among Chusen dyeing, also called 2-dyeing or 3-dyeing, where first "white and black sashiko is dyed with clear dye to create a plain color sashiko", then "the pattern is removed (bleached white)", and finally "dye is poured to finish".
