On the contrary, because of the good color absorption effect of linen and the natural luster, the lines become brighter after dyeing. Excellent moisture absorption and heat dissipation, as well as a textured luster, linen has the reputation of "the king of fibers", which is very suitable for us living in subtropical Taiwan. ★ Taiwan local plant dyeing For the linen dye this time, we used Taiwan plants: Ficus ficus, Terminalia grandiflora, tallow, and onion. These are plants commonly found in street trees, parks, and campuses, but we rarely know about the effect of dyeing. They can come in such elegant colors. ※Because it is dyed by natural plants, the color of each batch of filament will be slightly different, and it may be different from the color in the photo. **｜Material Package Contents｜** 1.

But because it is natural dyeing, there are "eyebrow corners" that need to be recognized first in subsequent washing and color fixing. Plant dyeing usually uses mordant to fix the color and change into a more vivid and bright color. The red in the plant usually becomes dark coffee after adding mordant, so the color fixing effect of this red series wire is not as good as other colors. Two times before entering the water, yellow pigment may run out, which is normal, and the red part may not be as strong as the beginning, but it will not affect other colors of the whole fabric. By the third time in the water, it will not continue to fade. It is recommended to wash the fabrics of plant dyed filaments with "clean water". If you really need to use a cleaning agent, be sure to use a neutral lotion, so as not to accelerate the fading of the color of the plant dye. **Reasons for Northern Shepherd's Handcraft** Before the industrial age, because of the properties of natural materials, people were able to use materials from nature to make all the necessities of life. The automated machinery invented by human beings is undoubtedly very efficient. Its power and the market mechanism it brings are also dazzling, but it also makes people gradually forget the skills of their own hands and how rich and wonderful the raw materials provided by nature. . Only by rediscovering these knowledge of natural materials and how to make them, we can create an ideal world that is more friendly to the environment and more involved in body and mind through the technology and memory of our hands.
