The fabric is ready. The persimmon juice/dye is ready. Time to start dyeing. Proceed by pouring ample amounts of persimmon juice into large plastic tubs in order to easily feed the long sheets of fabric in and out. Here the Master's mom loads cotton fabric into a tub of juice for another Ajumma to soak:
It ain't a clean job. But a thorough drenching is required. Keep the tubs full of juice.
Take a break and enjoy some bean-filled 빵 and Cider.

Run the persimmon-juice-soaked cotton fabric through the spin cycle on a washing machine and then spread it out to dry. The first time through the juice, the color is still fairly light.
The more times the fabric goes through the juice, the darker the color. It also helps to dry the fabric in a climate with moist, salty air like you might find near the seashore. This dark fabric is nearly ready for the sewing machines.
