Exactly what I had expected

I'm knocking a star off because my kit did not produce a "bloom"— a foamy build up on the surface of the vat, which the instructions say to set aside during dying. I even let the vat sit for an hour and a half, and... no bloom. Natural indigo vats always produce blooms, so this was disappointing and killed the experience for me a little bit. I might have gotten an old kit — I noticed the indigo crystals had lumped together in a big chunk in the plastic container...

That said, the indigo bath still worked so I went with it!

I think I got good color with the kit, but since I'm a novice I'm not sure what truly "good" color is! I ran a depth of color experiment where I dipped swatches of canvas multiple times in the vat. I would allow the pieces to oxidize for 5 minutes between dips.

I found the best color range for the following dips:

1 second, 1 dip (light baby blue)
10 seconds, 1 dip
30 seconds, 1 dip
1 minute, 2 dips
1 minute, 4 dips
1 minute, 6 dips (deep blackish navy blue)

The times between did not show any difference in color depth than their surrounding swatches.

It's very important to allow your pieces time outside of the vat to oxidize (at least 5 minutes between dips), or else you will not achieve good depth of color. I found I got faster oxidization by hanging my piece up over an open window — if you have a window over your kitchen sink, this is a perfect spot. The instructions say to allow 15 minutes to oxidize, but I think that's overkill — once the piece turns blue and there is no green left, it's done!

It's important that you *hang* your pieces when they are oxidizing — if the piece is touching anything, the parts that touch anything will not oxidize. If you don't do this, it's no biggie – it just means you'll spend more time flipping your piece to get all the fabric that wasn't in contact with the air to oxidize... save time and just hang it up!

Other details that helped me along:
- I scoured my fabric with soda ash prior to dying. You can find instructions for how to scour online. This will allow you to achieve the best depth of color.
- I wore high and thick plastic gloves... they were great because they allowed me to dip my arms deeper into the vat, which the cheap blue ones that came with the kit would not allow me to do. I could also take the gloves off and do other things while I was waiting for pieces to oxidize.
- I bought a 5 gallon bucket with a lid from the hardware store, it was only $8.
- I placed a long wooden stick (1"x1"x1") over my bucket so that when I lifted my pieces up, the drips would hit the wooden stick instead of dripping back into the vat. The drips would travel along the stick, and then drip down back into the bucket along the outer edge. This allowed me to minimize dripping / swishing / splashing.
- When I stored my vat, I placed it next to my apartment's gas heater, set it to 70 degrees, and wrapper a big wool blanket around it to keep it warm.
- I used a foldable drying rack to hang my pieces to dry, and spread out a big rag underneath the drying rack to catch the drips.
- I carefully labeled and saved my swatches for later use — I intend to buy another kit in the future, this was so fun!

I hope this information will help you with whatever you're making!

This is a great kit, and easy to use

This is a great kit, and easy to use. There are videos on YouTube if you want to see ahead of time how the process goes, but the instructions in the box are pretty clear. I tie-dyed a heavy queen sized linen/cotton duvet and dyed a linen tablecloth, 4 napkins, and 2 kitchen towels solid blue. I got good color on all of it, and have saved my covered dye bucket to do a few more small pieces. Smaller pieces are definitely easier to handle, but this kit will dye a lot. A little messy, but so much fun!

Great Shibori Starter Kit

January 30, 2017

Verified Purchase

This was my first time dyeing with indigo, and I got great results! For a first batch, I dyed a bunch of kitchen towels, two euro pillow covers, and two window curtains using different folding and binding techniques. I let sit overnight, then unwrapped and rinsed each piece thoroughly in cold water in the tub until the water ran clear, then threw all the pieces into the dryer at low setting. Everything came out beautifully! I covered the 5-gallon vat and plan to do another batch with more curtains, kitchen towels, and a twin sheet set. One batch produces much more dye than I expected! I will be purchasing again.

This is real Indigo dye, but without the hassle and complicated mixing the you normally need to do with indigo. Excellent instructions. I used it for two classes of 12 year olds. They each dyed one item...tee shirt, kitchen towel or oversized handkerchief. It dyed over 45 items and we had a bunch left over. They dunked the item and chose how long to leave it in the pot, but we had one person do all the retrieving as we didn't have enough gloves for everyone!! Very good bargain and nice quality.

Just buy one, trust me...

Worked great! I bought two because I was dyeing a king sized duvet cover and two king sized pillow cases. I had a ridiculous amount of dye left over so I dyed a shirt and a jean jacket (twice), and I still had a ridiculous amount left over. I could have gotten one box and it would have been more than enough. Just as a reference to help the next woman that's like, "Let me dye my own bedspread and buy a ton of dye to do it!" Just get one.

Fun and effective kit produces beautiful blues

December 23, 2014

I have had so much fun with this kit. I dyed a cashmere sweater that was a moldy green to a deep rich indigo with 2 dips, a boring cream sweater with just 20% wool came out a lovely light blue, an old cotton skirt with a lace trim is now a super soft chambry skirt, an old dip dyed shirt is now a smart deep indigo all over, I tie dyed 2 old white Tshirts which look really cool now with stripes on one and a circle on the other, I changed a mostly polyester T shirt in pale olive to deep olive (that was my least successful attempt as polyester won't dye), I changed an orange knit top to a deep greyish blue after 2 immersions, an old sarong that was all faded is now refreshed as are a pair of old jeans, even an old cotton dress that had too much brown in it looks better in blue. Right at the end I deep dipped a felt hat and that is looking good too. All the blue rinse water I've tossed onto the garden including the last of the concentrate in the bucket. Its great that it's not smelly and doesn't hurt the outdoors. The blue plastic gloves worked fine but inevitably I got slightly blue fingers but the color washed off with soap, I dare say a dip in mild bleach might perfect the cleanup.
