We have a complete set of instructions on how to dye with indigo — including several recipes for organic vats.

Indigo (natural) – Natural indigo powder is an extract prepared from Indigofera tinctoria. Indigo is the legendary source of colourfast blues. Its ability to produce a wide range of shades has made it the most successful dye plant ever known. Indigo grows all over the world but flourishes best in hot tropical climates. Indigo can give clear blues that range from the tint of a pale sky to a deep navy that is almost black. Maiwa’s indigo comes from a farm in South India. It is very strong and reduces beautifully in an indigo vat.
