Embark on a magical journey into the world of indigo dyeing with our Indigo Dyeing DIY Craft Kit. This centuries-old method of fabric dyeing has enchanted artists for generations, and now, with this thoughtfully designed kit, you too can experience the transformative power of indigo. Watch in awe as your fabric turns from green to the deepest blue as the indigo oxidizes in the air. Perfect for beginners, this kit guides you through the entire process, from creating your indigo vat to achieving rich, colorfast results.


Key Features:
  • Pre-measured Ingredients: Everything you need to create one organic indigo vat is included, allowing you to dye a variety of fabrics and fibers with ease.
  • A Natural, Age-Old Process: Indigo bearing plants are the world's best source of natural, true, colourfast blue. A magical dyestuff that has been used around the world as a dye since pre-historic times, the culture and wonder that surrounds this plant is immense. Indigo cannot be dyed in the same way as other dyes, but must be used to create a "living" vat, which is achieved through a sort of fermentation process.
  • Step-by-Step Instructions: Designed for beginners, the instructions provide clear guidance, ensuring success with your first indigo dyeing project.
  • Versatile Dyeing: Dye fabrics, yarn, garments, and home goods with the magical shades of indigo, perfect for creative experimentation.
  • Eco-Friendly and Sustainable: 100% plant-based indigo dye, organic ingredients, and recyclable kraft packaging make this kit an eco-conscious choice.

Unlock the timeless beauty of indigo and watch your creations come to life in a spectrum of rich blue hues, while connecting with a dyeing tradition that spans millennia.

Additional Product Details:

This kit contains the pre-measured ingredients to create one organic fructose vat, with which you can dye quite a bit of fibre - how much a kit will dye depends on a few things, including how dark you want the blue to be, and what fibres you use. But it will dye a lot! As a general ballpark, you could expect to dye at least 5 yards of a medium weight cotton such as a quilting cotton, to a medium blue, and probably more, and darker if you wish. The vat can remain active for several weeks, depending on how much you use it and how you take care of it.

Indigo can be used to dye any natural fibres, not synthetics. You can dye fabric, yarn, garments, wood, anything that you like. A small amount of synthetic fibre content such as 5% spandex in a garment, or 5% nylon in a sock yarn, is no problem.
