Description
Indigo exists in plants that grow all over the world. It is virtually the only blue dye that occurs in nature. With a fascinating history, indigo is equally fascinating to use: the blue color "magically" appears as dipped fabric is exposed to oxygen in the air! This unique property sets indigo apart from every other dye and makes it especially well-suited for patterning techniques. The dye produces a wide range of blues, from a pale sky blue to the deepest navy. Prized by countless cultures for millennia, indigo is still used today for coloring blue jeans. Jacquard's synthesized indigo is molecularly identical to the naturally occurring dye and comes pre-reduced 60% for unprecedented ease of use.This kit brings the ancient art of indigo dyeing to the home dyer in a user-friendly formulation. Included in this kit are 20 g pre-reduced Indigo Dye, 100 g Soda Ash, 50 g Sodium Hydrosulfite ("Hydro"), 1 pair of gloves, 2 wood pieces, Rubber bands (2 sizes).
NOTE: You will need to supply: 5 gal/18.93 L bucket with lid, long stick for stirring, water, natural fabrics or yarn. Dyes up to 15 yards/5 lbs (2.27 kg) of fabric or 15 t-shirts. Dye bath lasts for several weeks.
