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 times. This is the excess indigo on the surface coming off, and it's different from fading that occurs on the thread or fabric. Also, there's no need to worry about color transfer to other items, but washing it before use will give you 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 Lockwood and red wood, I use concentrated solutions. The colors often vary each time. Plant residue and fibers may be attached, but they are harmless, so please understand. ☆ Persimmon tannin dye Persimmon tannin dye develops color through exposure to sunlight, wind, and the drying process. The dye is repeatedly applied by kneading the dye solution and drying it in the sun once a day. Due to its characteristics, it has a crisp, starched-like finish. × Iron utilizes the black characteristics when it comes into contact with iron, producing a subdued color. 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.
