i made an indigo vat using prochem's synthetic indigo and having problems (i think) with the stock solution reducing but am working it out.

i am working on indigo dyeing silk / wool yarns shibori style for knitters- interested in creating ikat/kasuri-esque shibori yarns and discovering the patterns that can be created when knit into sculptural/ textural patterns/shapes.

i love your blog and it is both inspiring and teaching me.
