51. DYEING NATURALLY
People usually color fabrics using man-made chemical dyes. However, before people developed these dyes,
what did they use? They used nature’s colors, of course. Their
dyes came mainly from minerals, plants, and
animals. In Korea, people have used unripe persimmons as a dye for a long time. At first,
people living on
Jeju Island dyed fishing lines with the fruit to strengthen them. Later, they used it to make cotton stronger and
also to make traditional clothes. These brown-colored
clothes are called garot which means “persimmon
clothes.” They are popular for work and everyday wear on the island. To dye fabrics with persimmon juice,
first, break up some unripe fruit. Then, soak the fabric in the juice. Next, dry the fabric on
the grass under the
sun. After that, soak it in water or more juice and dry it again. Keep soaking and drying it several times until
it’s the right shade. To get different shades of brown or black, use different amounts of juice and water. You
can also get different shades by varying the drying time. Natural dyeing takes more time and
work than using
chemicals. However, wearing clothes colored with natural dye is healthier for our skin. In addition,
these dyes
don’t release harmful chemicals into the environment. These are good reasons for choosing nature’s colors.
