Genuine indigo dyed hemp furoshiki starry sky

Fine linen cloth, which is also used in apparel, is made into a 90 x 90 cm large-sized cloth (furoshiki) and carefully dyed with this indigo dyeing. Unique linen texture with a crisp feel. The linen fabric is soft and fine enough to be used for apparel shirts. When you think of furoshiki, you can think of crepe or cotton, but there are many fabrics with a feeling of furoshiki and a heavy texture. Looking at the linen fabric, which is a soft, moderately crisp linen yarn woven into a soft, moderate density and light weight, I thought that I would like to make a large cloth that can be used as a furoshiki for traveling and as an interior. It was We are also particular about sewing threads, and instead of the usual polyester threads, we select threads that are easy to color even with natural dyeing such as genuine indigo dyeing. Since the size is 90 cm square, it is a size that can be firmly used when traveling or carrying luggage. The dough is thin and not bulky, so it has a convenient "large and small" finish. The dyeing is the original indigo dyeing by the indigo dyeing craftsmen who have trained in the authentic Tokushima. We make a dyeing solution with an indigo jar using a spider that fermented Tsubaki indigo and wheat malt, and stir it every day to promote fermentation. Since it cannot be dyed without fermentation, it is a genuine product that can be dyed only from spring to autumn. Chemical indigo, which is so-called indigo, like denim, and main indigo are very different, and chemical indigo gives a beautiful color at one time, but this indigo deepens the color by dyeing it many times. . To make it dark blue, soak it in the indigo pot for 10 or more times, take it out, dye it by oxidizing it, and repeat. It is said that the main indigo, which does not easily get into the thread, is less likely to be colored, and is stronger than the chemical indigo in terms of "fading", which is the image of denim's chemical indigo. (Be careful about friction.) Since this indigo dyeing is a product dyeing, we will dye it after the furoshiki itself is completed. Although it will be plain if you soak it as it is, the pattern is put in with the technique of squeezing. When squeezing dyeing by immersing it in an indigo pot, fold the fabric, tie it, pass a needle, squeeze the fabric and change the shape to dye. Depending on the shape of the cloth, it is divided into parts that do not contain dye and parts that do not. The pattern that is applied to this is called the iris pattern. Since there is no type, there are no clear color boundaries, and all are gradations. The pattern of indigo color of infinite strength from white to dark blue is deep and really beautiful. [Pattern] Regarding this pattern, it is a technique of dyeing pattern called wax pattern rather than drawing pattern. Apply a wax to a hard brush, then blow it onto a cloth and dye it. Only the part with the wax does not have the color and becomes a pattern. The star part of the pattern is the part with the wax. [Material] 100% linen (dyed indigo) [Size] 90cm x 90cm (Because the product is dyed, some errors due to shrinkage etc. may occur, so please understand.) [Handling Precautions] For the first few times, please wash separately or wash with water. In the case of this indigo dyeing, the color fading is less likely than that of so-called denim. The color may change due to friction, etc., but I think that you can use it without problems as long as it is within the range of use as a furoshiki. Even if the color shifts, it often drops if washed, but please be careful when using.
