{"product_id":"persimmon-dyed-sashiko-thread","title":"Persimmon-Dyed Cotton Thread, 20 m","description":"\u003cp\u003ePersimmon tannin dyeing, or \u003cem\u003ekakishibu,\u003c\/em\u003e is a Japanese textile technology that dates to the Heian period (794-1185 CE). When persimmon juice is fermented — a time-consuming and laborious process — it can be transformed into a fabric dye with enormous versatility. Persimmon tannin dye is water-resistant and anti-microbial. Depending on the recipe, materials dyed with this process have rich and natural colors that range from deep umber and pale sand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis persimmon-dyed thread is spun from cotton, with an \"S-twisted\" six-ply construction that's great for sashiko, bookbinding, hand-sewing, and embroidery. Once treated with the persimmon dye, the thread feels crisp, almost starched, so it slides smoothly through fabric and paper. This is a great alternative to waxed linen thread for durable bookbinding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach skein has 20 m (22 yd.) of thread in one color. Each sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fujix","offers":[{"title":"#01 Taupe","offer_id":47063980867842,"sku":"4977528162014","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#02 Warm Beige","offer_id":47063980900610,"sku":"4977528162021","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#03 Soft Pink","offer_id":47063980933378,"sku":"4977528162038","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#04 Brick","offer_id":47063980966146,"sku":"4977528162045","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#05 Dusk","offer_id":47063980998914,"sku":"4977528162052","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2228\/7429\/files\/fujixpersimmoncomposite.jpg?v=1764033817","url":"https:\/\/stlartsupply.mom\/en-ca\/products\/persimmon-dyed-sashiko-thread","provider":"St. Louis Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
