{"product_id":"indigo-kit","title":"Indigo Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eHave you always wanted to try indigo dyeing but aren't sure where to begin?  Our beginner friendly kits take the guesswork out, with pre-measured ingredients and comprehensive instructions that guide you through, step by step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndigo bearing plants  are the world's only source of natural, true, colourfast blue.  A magical dyestuff that has been used around the world as a dye since pre-historic times, the culture and wonder that surrounds this plant is immense. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndigo cannot be dyed in the same way as other natural dyes, but must be made into a vat, with pure plant indigo, an alkali and a reducing agent.\u003cbr\u003e==============================\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit contains the pre-measured ingredients to create one organic fructose vat, with which you can dye quite a bit of fibre - how much a kit will dye depends on a few things, including how dark you want the blue to be, and what fibres you use. But it will dye a lot! As a general ballpark, you could expect to dye several yards of a medium weight cotton such as a quilting cotton, to a medium blue, and probably more, and darker if you wish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vat can remain active for a week or longer, depending on how much you use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndigo can be used to dye any natural fibres, not synthetics.  You can dye fabric, yarn, garments, wood, anything that you like, and any fibre, such as cotton, linen, wool, silk, bamboo, rayon, hemp, etc.  A small amount of synthetic fibre content such as 5% spandex in a garment, or 5% nylon in a sock yarn, is no problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that the dyed fibres in the photos are not included.  They are there to show you what colours you can expect to achieve with the dye. \u003cbr\u003e==============================\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContents:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e25g indigofera tinctoria powder, extracted from the plant \u003cbr\u003e50g pickling lime (calx) \u003cbr\u003e75g fructose sugar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll our kits are packaged in recyclable kraft paper boxes, that are silk screened by hand in eye-catching designs that make them great for gifting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Love of Colour","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47635381354752,"sku":null,"price":31.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0084\/8081\/7207\/files\/indigo-kit-box-blown-out_1080x_jpg.webp?v=1769630694","url":"https:\/\/www.secretplanet.ca\/products\/indigo-kit","provider":"Secret Planet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
