Discover indigo; one of the most mystical yet widely used plants in
the world. From cowboys' denim to the jeans in your wardrobe, its
enduring popularity survives to this day. In this practical and
inspirational handbook, learn how to use this powerful pigment to
breathe life into your clothes and craft projects. This book
contains all the information you need to grow, extract and use
indigo, alongside a wealth of dying recipes with other plants and
gorgeous textile ideas. In the first chapter, learn how to grow
indigo yourself, whether you have a windowsill or a full garden. No
matter where you live, the authors provide gardening tips for the
best species of indigo for your area. From there, a variety of
different dyeing techniques are explained to achieve your desired
results. Covering everything from warm or cold dyeing with indigo,
fructose, hydrosulfite and fermented vats, and dyeing with other
colour pigments, you can create multi-coloured projects that are
bound to astound. A chapter explaining the science behind the dye
also takes you through any troubleshooting problems to help you
experiment further. Finally, the projects section includes guides
on how to use your dyed textiles to create intricate moyo-sashi and
hitome-sashi embroidery, patchwork quilts or resist-dyed patterns.
Weave using traditional ikat or boro techniques and dye beautiful
honeycomb, storm and geometric patterns. Take your ideas to the
next level with this potent dye. From plant to pigment, Indigo will
encourage both beginners and experienced dyers to cultivate, dye
and create with a wide range of innovative and exciting recipes and
unique projects.
