[Gardenia Fruit Dye] Organic Cotton Crinkled Fabric Sun Protection Arm Covers

[Gardenia Fruit Dye] Organic Cotton Crinkled Fabric Sun Protection Arm Covers This fabric is made in the birthplace of Takashima Chijimi, crinkled fabric, and crepe: Takashima, Kosai, on the west side of Lake Biwa. Using highly twisted yarn for the weft, the yarn's natural tendency to untwist creates a "shibo" texture. This results in a crisp feel and breathability due to the unevenness, making it a summer material that stays comfortably away from the skin. Crinkled fabric, traditionally used for summer undergarments, is characterized by its moderate stretch, pleasant crispness similar to linen, and coolness. The textured surface of the fabric creates sun protection arm covers that keep your skin comfortable. The vertical crinkles lend an elegant atmosphere. They are designed with a relaxed fit, recommended for those who prefer arm covers that aren't too tight. These were dyed using a technique called botanical dyeing, with pigments extracted from plants. The vibrant turquoise green color is achieved by dyeing with gardenia fruit. ● Gardenia Flower Language: Bringing Joy, Grace, Very Happy The fingertips are exposed, allowing for easy movement even when wearing gloves.

A natural adhesive made from protein is evenly applied to the fabric, followed by the addition of a small amount of chemical dye to enhance colorfastness (resistance to fading from light, sweat, and washing, and to stabilize the pigments) without the need for a mordant, thereby expressing the beautiful colors of nature on the fabric. Natural dyes are not composed of a single element like chemical dyes. A single color contains multiple pigments, and the interplay of weak and strong pigments creates a soft reflection of color that is gentle on our eyes. We hope you will enjoy the vibrant yet deep and gentle hues of botanical dyeing. Botanical dyeing is an eco-friendly dyeing method that is gentle on both the earth and people, as it generates less water pollution and consumes less water during the dyeing process.
