I hand-dyed new sashiko threads. Approximately 180 meters per skein. ☆ Persimmon tannin dye (multiple layers) = 1500 yen 1500 + 150 = 1650 yen Threads can also be sold individually, but for single items only, the price will be +¥150. Thank you for your understanding. Note: Because these are hand-dyed, each one has a different color. Please be aware that it will not be possible to add threads of the exact same color later. Hand-dyed threads (indigo, persimmon tannin, and plant-based dyes) will have different colors depending on the season, time of day, weather, dyeing materials, the dyer, and the mordant used. They are also sensitive to friction and chemicals like bleach. Hand washing, washing in a net, and using neutral detergents are recommended. Please read the following only if applicable: ☆ Indigo Dye Since these are 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 is not the same as fading that occurs in the thread or fabric). There is no need to worry about color transfer to other items, but washing before use will provide extra peace of mind. ☆ Plant-Based Dye My plant-based dyeing primarily uses a primitive method of collecting plants and repeatedly boiling and dyeing them. However, for plants that are not available in Japan, such as logwood and redwood, I use concentrated extracts. The colors will likely vary each time. There may be plant debris or fibers attached, but please be assured that they are harmless. ☆ Persimmon Tannin Dye Persimmon tannin dye develops color through exposure to sunlight and wind during the drying process. The dyeing process involves repeatedly applying dye solution, kneading it in, and sun-drying once a day. Due to its characteristics, the finish has a crisp feel, as if it has been heavily starched. × Iron: The blackening property of iron is utilized to create a rich 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.
