Now you can dye your own sashiko thread!
With this kit, you get everything you need to get started with the new thread dyeing products for Sashiko. All you need to have yourself is plastic wrap, water, a measuring cup, and a little soap.
With Olympus' new thread dyeing system, you can simply draw on the thread with the markers they have developed, giving you good control over the process. You also don't need to boil water or anything similar, so it's easy and also easy to do with children with a little supervision.
Instructions for the small kit, in English (and with a Norwegian translation) can be found here.
A video in Norwegian will be available later; in the meantime, you can watch this video with English subtitles.
The colors in this kit are "cherry red," "aqua blue," and "moon yellow." In other words, approximately yellow, cyan, and magenta, so you can experiment with many color combinations if you wish, even though the instructions show how to create a rainbow-colored thread.
