I won’t pretend this wasn’t a mess but I expected that. It’s a “do this outside “ project. The only problem I had was being too impatient and too timid to really soak my fabric. Still it was wonderful. I will use it again with my crafting teen gandbaughter.

I'm a total beginner when it comes to Shibori dying. I studied up on it through Pinterest posts and it was a huge success. I bought all cotton painters tarps from Amazon and soaked them in bleach for 8 hours then rinse and washed them. It made a lovely linen like material. Then I did my dying. When the tarps were all dyed and dried I made porch swing covers and pillows for the porch as well.
This little kit has everything you might need to do basic dying but because I wanted to do two Shibori dye techniques I used rope (Arashi Shibori) and also a PVC pipe (for pole wrapping) and twine.
The instructions are really well written and they even give you a short version and a detailed version along with the history of indigo blue dying.
I used a 5 gallon bucket with a lid to do the dying. I was able to dye for 3 days but the best results were on the first day.
I prepared my projects, soaked and squeezed them out first. I stirred the vat as directed and hand scooped the bloom foam stuff off to one side of the vat. I was able to dye several things at once being careful not to let them touch the bottom of the bucket where they might get undissolved dye on them. I just held them for 5 minutes while they were in the dye bath (you might get yourself a little chair to sit on for the long 5 minutes). Once they were dyed 3-4 times with a 20 minute oxygenating process between the dye baths I then let then took off the wrappings and spread them on the grass to dry. Once dried I put them in the washing machine and on the rinse cycle then ran them through a wash cycle.
I did 3- 6 x 9 foot drop cloths, several t shirts, a white sheet and 2 dresses. I could have dyed a lot more. It really dyes a lot and the results are fantastic just be sure you only dye cotton fabrics. If it has polyester in it it won't take the dye. I just poured the unused dye on the grass and it didn't even show or hurt the grass at all.
It was so much fun!!!
Well with the $$$

Good Color, No Bloom

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 14, 2013

Size: 1 PackVerified Purchase

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!

So Easy To Use

This stuff does just what it should. It dyes lovely deep indigo {after a few dips} doesn't have the chemical smells of man made and lasts a good few days. Easy to mix up and my Textiles A Level class have gone indigo dye mad! {they love the fact it comes out a weird green then turns the most gorgeous blue.} High recommend.

Great kit for addictive indigo fun!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 21, 2018

This kit is great! Includes all the info you need and enough dye for several items of clothing. Quite easy and fun to do. The dye results quickly get lighter if you leave it overnight so I recommend doing all your dyeing in one day if you can. Leave plenty of time for several dips. Be warned that this is addictive fun!
