Kasuri threads are woven by applying a considerable amount of glue and wax to the surface of the threads compared to ordinary woven fabrics.
Glue suppresses fluffing on the surface of the thread and keeps the pattern together without breaking it, and wax plays the role of suppressing the formation of hairballs when the threads rub against each other.
It is an image that the thread is loosened just before passing through Osa while keeping the pattern cohesive up to the front of Osa. If there is too much glue, the bundle of threads will remain intact and prevent unnecessary twisting of the threads. At the same time, the thread is less likely to come loose in front of Osa, making it easier for the thread to get caught in Osame.
If there is too much glue, it will become a bundle of soft threads as a whole, and the pattern will easily collapse, and “twisting” caused by subtle differences in tension will easily occur.
Since the gluing work (including wax) is finished in the sun, the amount of glue and wax is adjusted according to the season in consideration of the effects of daylight hours and temperature. After that, it is necessary to consider the size of the bundle of threads.
