Happy Friday from Japan!

Today's post on my leaflet.pub blog is a throwback to May 2014 in Kyoto, when my wife and I got a chance to try our hands at Roketsuzome, a traditional Japanese wax-resist textile dyeing technique.

During a stay in Kyoto in 2014, my wife and I went to 京ローケツやまもと染工 to try our hands at Roketsuzome, a traditional Japanese wax-resist textile dyeing technique.

Commercial dye most certainly works. The other sheet also has a cool pattern. The only problem now is I feel like sheets are too fancy for their original use, which was in the garden to cover up plants on cold nights 🤣 I feel like I should make them into something now. #dyeing #diy

After rinsing and then a hand wash in a mild detergent. Tbd how much of this will stick after an actual machine wash. This is the wet color, could be much lighter dry. #dyeing #diy
