First off, it is not soluble in water. It has to be ground, pasted up, then most recipes call for reducing it chemically with Sodium Hydrosulfite or Lye (caustic stuff). It is very involved and can be time consuming. As an alternative, try this Synthetic Indigo (chemically identical to natural Indigo) Kit! The packet of indigo has been pre-reduced chemically, then dried, so it dissolves in water right off the bat. Indigo dyeing is one of the oldest (thousands of years!) dye procedures used for coloring fabrics and the one still used today to color blue jeans. The unique characteristics of indigo dyeing make it easy to create wonderful resist patterns on fabric. This kit brings the ancient art of indigo dyeing to the home dyer in a user friendly formulation. With a resurgence of interest in indigo and ethnic patterning in the fashion world, this kit is sure to be a winner! Because of the fact that the dye has to be reduced to get it into solution, and oxidized to have it turn blue again, it is a fun science project too!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA unique feature of this kit is that it is not a one time dyeing experience. The dye vat can keep up to several weeks and dye more than 15 yards or 5 pounds of fabric or 15 shirts. This allows the dyer several sessions to experiment and discover the magic of indigo! Indigo is for use with natural fabrics and clothing that haven't been treated with any finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEach kit contains:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 grams \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003ePre-Reduced Synthetic Indigo\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100 grams \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSoda Ash\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50 grams \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSodium Hydrosulfite\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGloves - 1 pr.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRubber bands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 wood blocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstruction booklet with dye patterns and historical and cultural overview of indigo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou'll also need:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 gallon bucket w\/ lid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePole or stick for stirring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural fabrics, clothing, or yarn to dye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKit ingredients are also available separately so you can continue dyeing with indigo. \u003cbr\u003eFor more dye refer to pre-reduced indigo crystals, \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e#PRIC\u003c\/span\u003e, and the reducing agent is a mixture of about 70% soda ash (\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e#FIX\u003c\/span\u003e) and 30% sodium hydrosulfite (\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e#JACSH\u003c\/span\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"1111911","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48780602147061,"sku":"gno1787962166834","price":10.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/2308\/9909\/files\/jacquard-indigo-dye-kit_1.jpg?v=1787962173","url":"https:\/\/www.mossandblossom.shop\/products\/jacquard-indigo-dye-kit","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
