“Handkerchief Q & A”
"How do you use a Handkerchief?" And "How to wash?"
I often hear your voice at the shop front.
Then, "Isemomen Cotton store staff Furukawa",
I will answer such frequently asked questions.
QWhat is Isemomen Cotton?
What is different from ordinary fabric?
AIsemomen Cotton has been around since the Edo Era
It is a traditional fabric that lasts 250 years.
It is now also designated as a traditional craft in Tsu city, Mie prefecture.
Isemomen Cotton has the best feel and the rustic texture like old cloth. The secret lies in the yarn (weakly twisted yarn).
We are using a yarn in close state to cotton (I) without strongly twisting.
As you finish cleaning the fabric, the yarn will try to return to cotton (wat), so the fabric will soften.
This touch is the difference from others.
As it is kind to children's skin, SOU・SOU also use a lot of Isemomen Cotton fabric for children's clothing.
QDo you sew and use the cloth edges that you cut off yourself?
AYou can use it while leaving it unattended.
After washing several times, the eyes of the Handkerchief will gradually become clogged.
After the first washing, please cut it if there is a frayed thread.
It is harder to fray then you can use it cleanly.
By the way, the reason why Handkerchief are left uncut is that long ago, to repair the Thong and stop bleeding.
There is a theory that it is possible to split by hand and use it.
QDo you lose color?
AThere is no so - called "falling color".
However, because it causes color transfer if left in the wet state, be sure to dehydrate with a washing machine and then dry immediately afterwards. Since it is dyed white cotton, I will continue to fade according to the number of times of washing.
QIs it necessary to iron it?
APlease respond according to your preference.
Those who like the texture of wash-outs dry, leave them wrinkled, those who like the crisp texture we recommend ironing.
QHow do I use a Handkerchief?
AAs well as handkerchiefs and towels, you can wrap it around your neck or head, hang it on the wall, towels, place Placemat, table centers, etc. Enjoy it to your liking. The usage is endless.
By the way, I, Furukawa, always carry a Handkerchief and use it as a napkin instead of putting it out when eating.
QWhy is not it stained to the back?
ASOU・SOU Handkerchief use a technique called "Hand-printed
Because we are dyeing by putting color paste from the front side, because the color does not go through well to the back side, the back becomes whitish.
QTell me how to wash and notes!
APlease use detergent commonly used neutral detergent (one without bleach / fluorescent agent).
For color transfer prevention, be sure to wash the washing machine, not hand washing.
And, as there is a possibility of getting tangled with other laundry items during washing, we recommend washing in the net.
QHow much does a Handkerchief shrink when washed?
AShrinking eyes, about 3% in length.
Some people may feel old-fashioned when saying " Handkerchief "
Up and Down
I think that you can use it according to your preference and use, such as normal height, draft length, diaphragm and so on.
