I noticed that when I wore the blue linen kosode koshimaki'd around my waist for taiko at GWW, my perspiration produced some blue streaks on the white linen kosode under it. That's easily fixed with some dye remover. However, the blue linen kosode went into the machine alone after pre-treating with Shout where I glopped some yellow mustard on it. It is now a pinkish lavender, which means the vinegar that usually sets the same dye nicely on silk did nothing. To add insult to injury, the mustard stains have gone babyshit green and are still visible. I suppose I can take the collar off, turn it and re-attach so the stains are on the inside. And I can pair it with the rose shibori kosode or the purple dan gawari one, but damn, that's disappointing.
Lest you, O My Reader, think, "There she goes again, doing things the hard way," I have just printed the West Kingdom Populace Hinomaru on iron-on transfer sheets to make tent rope markers with.
