Used throughout Asia, South America & Africa, indigo has a rich and vibrant history & is one of the oldest know natural dyes used by man.

Indigo is a pigment extracted from the leaves of indigo-bearing plants and is the oldest natural source of blue dye in the world. Humans have used indigo to dye natural fibers for thousands of years, with traditions spanning continents and cultures. Indigo dye was common in ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Britain, Mesoamerica, Peru, Iran, and West Africa. The oldest known indigo-dyed cloth was found in Peru and dates back 6,000 years.Because of its high value in trade, indigo was often referred to as blue gold. It was a major export and cash crop in South Carolina in the 1700s, playing a major role in plantation slavery there, along with cotton and rice. In 1865, German chemist Adolf von Baeyer introduced synthetic indigo, which was created in a lab and much less expensive to produce than naturally-grown indigo pigment. Most indigo dye made today is synthetic, constituting several thousand tons each year.Per saperne di più -
We recommend natural indigo extract in powdered form. Natural indigo generally contains anywhere from 15% to 55% indigotin by weight depending on the crop, growing season and harvest. Maiwa’s natural indigo generally tests at between 40 and 45% indigotin. In a well maintained vat, 15 grams of indigo will dye approximately 450 g (1 pound) of fibre a dark blue. It will dye 900 g (2 pounds) of fibre a medium blue.Per saperne di più -

Maintaining and Troubleshooting an Organic Indigo Vat
The questions I receive most frequently about natural dyeing seems to center on the indigo vat and its maintenance. Since 2011 I have been making and using organic indigo vats, an art and skill that I learned from Michel Garcia.My current vat began in a 5 gallon vessel over 2 years ago. I enlarged it to fill an 8 gallon vessel, and then last year I enlarged my vat again to fill a 30 gallon container. The increased size was needed because I was dyeing larger pieces of cloth.Per saperne di più -
