Detailed Description [Features]
Indigo dye is a natural dye that can be used with water.
The trick is to not waste water and to knead the fabric well when dyeing.
Since this product is made from natural materials, it can be used safely for a variety of purposes.
[How to use]
If you base-dye the fabric before dyeing, the dye will be absorbed better and the dye will become so clear that it will dye well.
Indigo dyeing process
(1) Prepare a bucket with enough water to cover the fabric.
As a guideline, use 10 times the weight of the dough in water.
(2) Before dyeing, thoroughly soak the entire garment in water and squeeze it out lightly.
For fabrics that are difficult for water to penetrate, soak them in hot water once to remove oil.
(3) The dye liquid will have settled, so shake it well before using.
Dissolve about 5% of the dye solution by weight of the fabric in water and mix well.
(4) Add the fabric and knead well for 1 to 2 minutes before dyeing.
By kneading well, the dye will penetrate deeply into the fibers and become more resistant to fading.
If you want a darker dye, add more liquid and dye repeatedly.
(5) Once dyed, squeeze the water out by hand or spin-dry, then dry completely in the sun.
Thorough drying will allow the color to set more firmly, resulting in less uneven dyeing.
[Handling Precautions]
