Dyeing process 1

2.Dyeing

  • Set up cloth in the tool named Shinshi which haves a needle on the top of bamboo. This is for dyeing the cloth in air and make the dye in water solution penetrate entirely.
  • Soak dye in a thick brush and draw it on the cloth. I drew a flowing line at this time, but you can create various designs by brush.

Set up on Shinshi.

3.Color fixing and finishing

  • Take off the cloth from Shinshi after dried, and wrap it in a paper, to steam. By this steaming (adding heat) process, you can change the particles of dye just appearing in the surface of cloth penetrate into the fiber of the cloth deeply and be solid.
  • Wash in cold water and remove all unnecessary dye.
  • Dry it and finish up by ironing.
