Soy milk is an essential material in natural dyeing, and its use in pre-dyeing (under-dyeing) techniques has been practiced in Japan for a long time.Soy milk contains a high amount of plant-based proteins, making it effective in helping to fix and set colors, coat colors, prevent bleeding, and protect the starches used in dyeing. For example, in Ryukyu Bingata, a traditional Okinawan dyeing technique, soy milk is mixed with pigments and rubbed into fabric to help the color adhere. Soy milk is also used in indigo dyeing for pre-dyeing processes.In Japanese painting, &#8220;Nikawa&#8221; (animal-based collagen) is often used for preventing bleeding and coating colors, and soy milk, being another type of protein, serves a similar purpose in natural dyeing.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Soy_Milk_Helps_Achieve_Darker_Colors\"><\/span>Why Soy Milk Helps Achieve Darker Colors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Proteins, when broken down, become peptides or amino acids, both of which are cations (positively charged ions). On the other hand, natural dyes from plants often contain anionic (negatively charged) compounds. This creates a magnetic-like attraction between the protein in soy milk and the plant-based dye, which helps the dye to bond more strongly to the fabric, resulting in a richer color. In simple terms, proteins help attract and hold the natural dyes, which is why the fabric ends up dyed more deeply.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Materials_Suitable_for_Soy_Milk_Processing\"><\/span>Materials Suitable for Soy Milk Processing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Soy milk processing works best with plant-based fabrics such as cotton or linen. Animal-based fibers like silk and wool, which are already made of protein, can be dyed without the need for soy milk treatment.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Materials_Needed\"><\/span>Materials Needed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before beginning the dyeing process, prepare the following materials and tools:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/maitokomuro.pro\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/20210723-DSC09535.jpg\" alt=Soy Milk Processing\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1024\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maitokomuro.pro\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/20210723-DSC09535.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/maitokomuro.pro\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/20210723-DSC09535-740x592.jpg 740w, https:\/\/maitokomuro.pro\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/20210723-DSC09535-768x614.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Fabric to be dyed<\/h4>\n<p class=\"boxh4\">The fabric or thread you want to dye deeply<br class=\"br-pc\">(for this example, we are using 120g of sashiko thread, and no animal fibers are needed).<\/p>\n<h4>Materials<\/h4>\n<p class=\"boxh4\">Soybeans<br class=\"br-pc\">(for this example, 36g of soybeans, about 30% of the weight of the fabric).<\/p>\n<h4>Tools<\/h4>\n<p class=\"boxh4\">Kitchen scale\u3000Blender\u3000Bowl or bucket\u3000Straining cloth\u3000Lukewarm water (50\u00b0C)<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Perform_Soy_Milk_Processing\"><\/span>How to Perform Soy Milk Processing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here is the step-by-step process for soy milk processing using dried soybeans.

It may feel a bit stiffer than usual, but once it is dyed, it will soften.<br \/>\nAfter processing, allow the fabric to dry completely. Once dry, store it in a plastic bag (such as a Ziploc bag) in a cool, dry place, away from humidity. Ideally, use the fabric within six months.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span>Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Soy milk is a versatile and essential material for natural dyeing. If you&#8217;re unsure, it&#8217;s a good idea to start with soy milk as a pre-dye treatment. Unlike other treatments that may affect the color tones, soy milk is gentle and reliable. Plus, it is a natural material, making it environmentally friendly and safe for humans as well.<\/p>\n<p>For thick fabrics or three-dimensional items, be sure to massage the fabric well and repeat the soy milk processing at least twice to avoid uneven dyeing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"link\">Monthly Workshop Information<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/maitokomuro.pro\/en\/category\/workshop\/\">https:\/\/maitokomuro.pro\/en\/category\/workshop\/<\/a><\/div>\n<p>Maito Design Works Maito Komuro<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post continues our series on natural dyeing techniques.Today, we will introduce a method that is frequently inquired about during our workshops \u2014 the &#8220;Soy Milk Processing&#8221; (\u8c46\u6c41\u51e6\u7406, Gojiru) method.
