Jacquard Indigo Dye - 8 Oz Pre Reduced Indigo - Create Your Own Shibori Bag, Indigo Macrame, Indigo Dye Pillow, and More - Blue Dye Fabric

Blue, not black as the listing indicated. Waaaaay more than I needed though lol

Really good indigo color. Great value . Lots of good crystals . Absolutely no complaints.

Combined this with fructose and pickling lime to make my vat. Did shiburi with my kids and they did great.

I wish I had understood that this dye was synthetic rather than from a plant when I bought but I am still very happy with the dye itself. Directions from jacquard website are good enough to get going but I could wish for better information. Try not to get the flower on whatever youre dyeing.It makes that part look much more gray-ish. Since I dyed both flour sack towels and some yardage for quilting, I found the gray effect to be interesting, even if it wasnt what I wanted and now I know better. I only needed one minute submerged to get a great color. The first 2 photos are of fat quarters starting with white fabric. The next was a shirt that was oatmeal colored, sort of beige. I really like how it turned out. Last is of the flour sack towels. Indigo is supposed to have antibacterial properties and be somewhat bug repellent. I can tell you the mosquitoes didnt notice any repelling properties and happily dive bombed me as I was working on dyeing the fast quarters. I plan to use this as a chemistry lab for my 8th grade students to dye flour sack towels. Then we will use the towels in the classroom for the rest of the year to save on paper towels. The indigo vat has to be reduced solution to dye the fabric (I used fructose and it worked fine) and then the fabric oxidizes in atmosphere when removed from the vat and turns from green to blue as you watch. Students will be able to see the chemical reactions. Teachers: if this is your first time playing with indigo then I recommend their kit, rather than this bag otherwise you are having to chase around and find ingredients.

I haven’t used this yet but plan to soon. It was promptly delivered and just what I was expecting. I’ll post more once I use it.

If you follow the directions this is a neat experience. Lived up to my expectations. I found that 3 dips for 5 minutes each gave great color.

The best one of these Ive ever seen.

Ready to dye. No hassle. Wear gloves!! I would mention that this is not how a real indigo dye bath works, this is an easy solution if you want to dye something fast and call it indigo. But its basically just powder you add to water, i expected no less. High quality though

Jacquard is known for their high quality products and this one doesnt disappoint!

Fake indigo dye, but it did the job- beautiful navy blue colors, exactly the shade I was looking for but its not real indigo
