We would say that we have accomplished the Natural Indigo Dye with Sukumo (Japanese traditional method). Some tiny parcels of Indigo Dye got stuck into the softly twisted Sashiko thread. However, we decided to introduce them because the parcels can be removed when we use the thread in Sashiko stitching.
There are absolutely room to improve. We keep working on it. For now, they are coming up to our online store soon with parcels, that can be the evidence of hand-dye. 🙂 「すくも」を建てての藍染め。
なんとか形にできたと思います。優しく撚ってある糸に、染料のカスが付着してしまっていて、「完璧」とは言えない状態ではあるのですが、刺し子をする際にゴミは取れるかな……と判断しての商品化です。今後も検討の余地ありです。
