SUITABILITY
Over the past year, I have noticed that many crafters use natural dye kits to dye Cotton, linen and other plant based fibres. Unknown to them, the mordanting instructions used for Wool or Silk are unsuitable for plant based fibres and often will result in pale, short lasting colours.
We have remedied that with our collection of ever growing dye kits and stand alone dye recipes. You can now choose the dye kit according to your fibre need ~ protein (wool & other animal fibres) or plant based fibres (linen, hemp, cotton)

DYE COLOUR: Blue - can be overdyed with Reseda Yellow for green or Cochineal Red for Purple.
Why for Plant fibres only?
The Organic Vats tend to have a very high PH 12-13+ which will destroy Protein fibres like Wool and Silk over time.
Notes on the Indigo Dye Kit.
Most natural dyes aren't immediately exhausted and you can continue dyeing several more pieces. Each new dip will result in a paler colour.
