Additional Product Details:

This kit only includes the ingredients for the clay paste. You will need an indigo vat for the actual dyeing. You can use any type of indigo vat, including one made from our Indigo Dyeing DIY Craft Kit.

The quantity of fabric you can print and dye will depend on your design - if your design has a lot of "white space" or areas that will be resist printed, the paste will get used up quickly. If your design has finer lines and smaller areas of resist, you will be able to print more fabric. As a general ballpark, you can expect to resist print 2-4 yards of fabric.
