Are you interested in dyeing with indigo but intimidated by the complexity of the chemistry behind it? This class is for you! In this day long class you will learn how to set up a natural indigo vat that can be used with either protein or cellulose fibers. You will dye five mini skeins of wool yarn and a cotton drawstring bag during the class. Additionally we will cover how to “tune up” your indigo vat and keep it for later use.
