Description

The 1-2-3 fructose indigo vat is one of our most popular vats for its ease of use and good, strong colors. We made things easy to start your new indigo adventure with this kit that has enough pre-measured indigo and auxiliaries to make a rich vat in a 5-gallon bucket. We're also including 4 22-inch cotton bandanas that you can dip. The bundle is packaged in an organic cotton bag that can also be dyed! Experiment with gradation dyeing, shibori, or get into the indigo master groove and dip a piece of fabric 20 times to see how dark a blue you can achieve. 


You should also check out our tutorial on How To Make 3 Easy Shibori Resists here.


Because the indigo dye bundle is sized so that the ingredients are pre-measured, all you need is a 5-gallon bucket, a sturdy stick or dowel and very hot water. Follow our simple instructions and the vat will be ready for dipping once it cools. Throw down a tarp to protect your floor, get some gloves on and experience the magic of indigo.


The Easy 1-2-3 Fructose Indigo Kit bundle includes:


100 grams of indigo


200 grams of calcium hydroxide


300 grams of fructose



4 - 22" square cotton bandanas



We also offer links in our How-To instructions for how to build, maintain, and dispose of your indigo vat. In fact, if you do a search on our site for any challenge you might have making, dipping or maintaining your vat, you'll find advice!
