The slight unevenness left by the dye bath is intentional; when stitched, it creates a gentle depth and dimensionality that flat colour never could.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFermented indigo is a living dye, and the thread retains something of that nature. A brown lye may be present in fresh skeins — a natural byproduct of the fermentation process, not a flaw. A simple overnight soak in warm water before first use is all it takes to settle the thread and prepare it for stitching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe colours shift between lots. Green indigo, yellow indigo, dark indigo, purple indigo, dull indigo — each name points toward a tone rather than fixing one precisely. That variability is the nature of the dye, and part of what makes each skein its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eMade in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"JUNALE","offers":[{"title":"Kokiai (Green Indigo)","offer_id":56864104350069,"sku":"JUN-LIF-OVDSST40-KOK-NU","price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Wakakusa (Yellow Indigo)","offer_id":56864104382837,"sku":"JUN-LIF-OVDSST40-WKKS-NU","price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Shikon (Purple Indigo)","offer_id":56864104415605,"sku":"JUN-LIF-OVDSST40-SHKN-NU","price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Danzome (Gradient Indigo)","offer_id":56864104448373,"sku":"JUN-LIF-OVDSST40-DNZ-NU","price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/3679\/8859\/files\/JUNALE-Sashiko-threads-8637.jpg?v=1775235598","url":"https:\/\/tokyobike.co.uk\/products\/over-dyed-sashiko-thread-thick-40m","provider":"tokyobike London","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
