[About Rainbow Co., Ltd.]

The area centered around Ichinomiya City in Aichi Prefecture is known as "Oshu," one of the world's leading textile producing regions.

Rainbow Co., Ltd. has been operating a dyeing factory specializing in kasuri dyeing in Bishu for 60 years.

What is kasuri dyeing ?

Kasuri dyeing is a dyeing method in which a single thread is dyed in many colors.

Kasuri dyeing involves many steps to apply color to the thread, and each step requires a high level of skill.

In addition, to dye things beautifully, you need to take into consideration a lot of detailed things, such as the properties of the things you're dyeing, the compatibility of different colors, and creating a color scheme that looks nice.

Making full use of the techniques we have developed over 50 years of yarn dyeing, we are able to colour anything that can be dyed with dye, and we continue to take on a variety of new challenges based on our experience.

" I want to add color to my daily life ... I want to dress up in something a little different from the rest ... As a dyeing professional, I would be very happy if I could respond to such feelings. "

As you can tell from the words, the yarns are carefully dyed and beautiful. As you continue knitting, you will surely find new enjoyment in the ever-changing colors of the yarn.

Due to the long pitch, some yarns may look different.

Thank you for your understanding.

The key to knitting with industrial yarns!

The second stitch is sweeter! ...Knit loose and fluffy!

Industrial yarns are waxed to make them easier to knit with machines, and they are designed to be washed at the end of the process, so they may have oil or solvents on them.
By washing at the appropriate temperature, dirt is removed and the fibers become fluffy, so the key is to knit a bit loosely (softly).

Be sure to knit a swatch for testing!

Since wool and similar fibers tend to shrink, it's important to knit a swatch and calculate the shrinkage rate.
For items with longer fibers, gently pressing them while washing will enhance the texture.

How to wash industrial yarns at home

1

Iron

First, the finishing iron and steam are applied to the stitch.

2

Pre-washing

Soak in hot water (no detergent) for about 15 minutes at 40°C or less

3

Washing

(detergent wash, neutral detergent Emaar, etc.) Wash as desired, or if you want to fluff out the yarn, wash it with a leftover cloth or other material and rub it to make it fluffier.

4

Rinsing

Change the hot water and rinse until the water is clean.

5

Finishing touches

Use fabric softener if desired. Use of fabric softener will further improve the texture.

6

Dehydration

If using a washing machine, place in a net for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Light towel drying is also acceptable.

7

Dryness

We recommend drying flat in the shade.

8

Steam iron

Organize shapes and stitch nicely.
