Indigo Tie Fabric Dye Kit | Natural Shibori Powder Sachet | Permanent Easy Use Textile Paint | Dyeing Shirt Clothes Dress | Painting Party Supplies DIY Art Craft Set

Worked great on my yellow linen pants. Looks like denim

plenty to go 'round, this really is the dog's bollox

Perfect indigo kit, good value for the money, delivered vivid, great results!

The packaging was great and directions were easy to follow but it smelled so so bad. It smelled so bad that my group had to stop during it and had to take turns. I was not expecting it to smell so bad.

This set has just about everything you need to make Shibori / indigo tie dye garments. I chose something in hindsight which was A LOT—a king size summer blanket!! I recommend doing something a bit less ambitious if you’ve never done shibori dying before. The end result as you can see in the photos is to dye for! 🤣You will definitely need to pick up a pair (trust me) of 3 or 5 gal bucket from your local hardware store if you don’t have one and depending on what type of fabric you plan to dye either a bunch of salt and/or an acid of some sort. I ran out of vinegar, but had a ton of citric acid from making bath bombs so I just used that to fix the dye.If you’re planning on something big like what I did, pick up more rubber bands, string, clothes hanger clips, or whatever else you want to use to scrunch your fabric up to make designs. They give you enough stuff for a small garment in the kit. They also give you two pairs of gloves and a thin apron. I went really simple with mine and just scrunched it up and tied off little balls of fabric in a pattern halving the blanket and halving it some more until a pattern emerged. I know YouTube will have tons of ideas if you look there.The number of times you dip for a minute and take out and oxidize and dip again will determine the depth of indigo color in your final product. Always remember that it is much darker appearing when it is wet than it actually is. I wanted something of a faded denim hue, so I dipped only twice. I could probably have gone one shade darker, but I couldn’t be bothered.Please note this process will involve exposure to some pretty harsh smells. Obviously, don’t stick your nose in the chemicals or over the bucket when mixing the indigo dye or when you add the acid to bring the Ph down to base level. If you do, you’ll be as sorry as someone boiling a pot of vinegar and taking a big whiff after removing the lid. It’s probably not dangerous, but super unpleasant!! My husband made this mistake when I asked him to pour the acid water into the bucket and he had a bit of a meltdown.Overall, I think this is a great product. Believe it or not, i still have half the dye left for another round if I wanted and I still have half the original batch in the bucket I used to dye the blanket in case I wanted to revive it and use it for more dying.

I ordered this for two projects--first, adding a shibori dyed texture to a basic lightweight scarf, and second, combining with watercolor binder to make a few pans of handmade watercolor.The dying was pretty easy; I just had to wait for a day when it was cool enough to work outside because I know that natural indigo has a bit of a smell to it and I have chemically sensitive people in the house. I mixed up about a third of the dye in a bucket and wrapped the scarf with rubber bands to create a pattern of diagonal rectangles. I opted for 5 dips to get a nice deep blue on the darkest parts, then set the dye with vinegar, rinsed and dried it, then used a salt soak to fix the rest of the dye and rinsed thoroughly again before tossing it in with the regular laundry... Mom used to insist we do that vinegar and salt soaking process with every new pair of jeans while I was growing up, and as much as I hated it then (because jeans that basically never faded were the kiss of death as a teen in the 80s and 90s), I'm glad to know it now, because it ensured that this never bled color on anything, even in its first wash.The second project, the watercolor, took a lot of time grinding the indigo down to a very fine powder first, though a spice grinder helped to shorten the process and limit the amount of mortar-and-pestle work needed to reach a size suitable for paintmaking. It took about an hour of mulling to get the paint smooth, but it's absolutely worth it for the gorgeous blue shades from the finished paint.

I used this dye for two napkins and a t shirt and had lots left to do more dying. I would have given it 5 stars if the directions and the packets were labeled more clearly. I had to read a few times and try to match the packets. Now that I have done it one time it will be easier the second go around. I like this dye and would recommend it.

I love the color blue and have been interested in fabric dyeing, so I decided to try out this kit.This kit comes with the basics needed to begin shibori dyeing, including protective gloves and a drop cloth, as well as twine, three clothes pins, and rubber bands. The items in this kit all come wrapped in recycled paper, and it is beautifully presented.There are many beautiful shibori techniques, I suggest researching and seeing which patterns most appeal that you you prefer. I'm partial to Arashi (pole wrapping) and Kanoko (tye dye).I look forward to dyeing wool yarn and some pillowcases with this kit, and will return to update with the results.Indigo Dye ⎪Natural Shibori Dye Kit and a Great Clothes Dye⎪Indigo Powder Serves As Tie Dye Kit or Adult Craft Kits⎪Eco Friendly dye for Clothes
