Here is a video about Indigo Dyeing using the Fresh Leaves from my Garden!!
I love it when dreams come true! Growing my own indigo and then dyeing with it has been a long-held dream of mine. That dream finally came true right here in Greenville, SC.
My tiny patch of indigo growing on my front lawn has produced beautiful, healthy plants high in indicatin.
The seeds, Japanese Indigo – Polygonum tinctorium also called Persicaria tinctoria, came from Rowland Ricketts indigo fields in Indiana.
Jenny Balfour-Paul, author of Deeper than Indigo, kindly shared the dyeing method with me.
My next dream? An entire field of Indigo!
