Thank you for your understanding. Note: Due to hand-dyeing, all colors are different. Please be aware that it is impossible to add thread 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 neutral detergent is recommended. Please read the following only if applicable. ☆Indigo Dye 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 washing off, and it's different from fading that has set into the thread or fabric. Also, there is no need to worry about color transfer to other items, but washing it with water before use will provide 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 logwood and red tree, I use concentrated liquid. The colors tend to vary each time. Plant residue 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. 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 utilizes the blackening property when it comes into contact with iron, creating a tannin effect. Plus, heat is applied, so the crispness is slightly softened. The color also gradually develops and changes to a darker shade, and I hope you enjoy the process.
