Japanese Indigo kit by Dahlia Milon Textile
Making a vat of Indigo from dry leaves is a unique and complete experience in connection with nature. It is a pleasure to see the indigo blue coming out directly from the leaf. It gives us a whole new understanding of Indigo dyeing.
This color does not just come from a powder, even though it is natural and comes from the plant world.
These Japanese Indigo leaves (persicaria tinctoria) come from their specialized dye plant garden. They do not use any chemical fertilizers or pesticides in the cultivation of our plants.
This kit includes all the necessary products to start your tank:
- un illustrated explanatory booklet.
- 20g of sodium carbonate (soda ash).
- 15g thiouria dioxide.
- 10g Citric acid
- 100g Japanese indigo leaves (persicaria tinctoria).
100g of leaves will dye about 300g of fiber a dark blue (3 soaks) and more if you dye lighter shades. You can dye cellulose fibers - linen, cotton, hemp and protein fibers - wool and silk.
