Simple Indigo Dyeing Kit
This easy to use kit is perfect for teachers, beginners, and anyone who has felt intimidated by this ancient, natural process.
The kit includes the 3 necessary ingredients for a healthy vat: indigo, an alkaline base, and an oxygen reducer. These ingredients are pre-measured for one 5-gallon vat, which will dye 6+ lbs of fiber to various shades. Pre-measuring in re-usable 1 oz glass jars eliminates the need for measuring, reducing the likelihood of spilling, and increasing the safety for use with children.
This method of indigo dyeing includes the creation of a 1 quart indigo solution, which is then added, as needed, to a large pot or 5-gallon bucket of hot tap water. Leftover solution can be saved for later use.
Easy to follow instructions are included.

Kit includes 2T high quality indigo powder, 2T calcium hydroxide base, and 2T thiourea dioxide reducer.
In addition to these ingredients, you will need a 1 quart glass jar, a large pot or bucket, sticks and/or tongs for stirring, and a cup of white vinegar.
Calcium hydroxide (lye) is a natural, but highly alkaline, which causes burns if touched before being added to liquid. Add this element away from children.
