Description
Jacquard Pre-Reduced Indigo 8 Oz brings the fascinating tradition of indigo dyeing into an accessible and easy-to-use format. Indigo is found in plants growing around the world and is one of the few blue dyes that occurs naturally, with a history spanning thousands of years across cultures. Its unique colour development makes the dye especially captivating to use: as fabric is removed from the dye bath and exposed to oxygen in the air, the colour transforms and deepens into characteristic shades of blue. This remarkable process makes indigo particularly well suited to resist dyeing, shibori, tie-dyeing, and other pattern-making techniques.
Jacquard's synthesized indigo is molecularly identical to naturally occurring indigo and comes pre-reduced by 60%, making vat preparation faster and easier. The generous 8 Oz quantity is ideal for larger dyeing projects, multiple garments, and creative textile experiments, while offering the distinctive colour range that makes indigo so enduringly popular. Depending on the dyeing process and depth of colour, you can create everything from pale sky blue to rich, deep navy. Suitable for natural fibres including cotton, linen, silk, canvas, wool, and hemp, this indigo is an excellent choice for textile artists, dyers, printmakers, and makers exploring traditional and contemporary resist techniques.
