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","brand":"Fujix","offers":[{"title":"Taupe #01","offer_id":48164385063124,"sku":"FJXPERS01","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Soft Pink #03","offer_id":48164385095892,"sku":"FJXPERS03","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brick #04","offer_id":48164385128660,"sku":"FJXPERS04","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dusk #05","offer_id":48164385161428,"sku":"FJXPERS05","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/1038\/7627\/files\/persimmon.webp?v=1782249119","url":"https:\/\/posnersartstore.net\/products\/fujix-persimmon-dyed-cotton-thread","provider":"Posner's Art Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
