I hand-dyed new cotton fabric. It's chilly these days. Persimmon tannin dyeing develops color by basking in the sunlight and being exposed to the wind. Due to poor color development, it will be on hiatus for the fall and winter. ☆ Approximately 90 x 270 cm (after dyeing) (originally 3m before dyeing) ☆ Multiple layers of persimmon tannin dye Note: Due to hand-dyeing, there are uneven spots. There are iron stains because iron remained on the clothesline. (Please refer to the photos.) Note: If this color doesn't come out, I plan to apply iron to the entire piece. (→ Planned cost: 5500) Please understand. Hand-dyeing (indigo dyeing, persimmon tannin dyeing, plant dyeing) results in completely different colors depending on the season, time, weather, dyeing materials, the dyer, and the 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 only the relevant items below. ☆ 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 washing off (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 it's safer to wash it with water before use. ☆ Plant Dyeing 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 redwood, I use concentrated liquid. The colors will likely vary each time. There may be plant residue or fibers attached, but please understand that they are harmless. ☆ Persimmon Tannin Dyeing Persimmon tannin dyeing develops color by basking in the sunlight, being exposed to the wind, and drying. I dye it repeatedly by rubbing the dye solution in once a day and drying it in the sun. 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 depth of color. Plus, because heat is applied, the crispness is slightly softened. The color will gradually develop and change to a deeper shade, and I hope you enjoy the process.
