With the 1-2-3 recipe you can easily and environmentally friendly make an indigo barrel/tub. For example, you dye wool, silk or cotton in it.
There are several recipes for dyeing with indigo. A contemporary version is the environmentally friendly 1-2-3 barrel by French master dyer Michel Garcia. His recipe uses an ingredients ratio of 1:2:3.
1 part Indigo
2 parts Calcium Hydroxide
3 parts fructose
Dyeing with indigo is magical! As soon as you remove the substance from the barrel, you will see how it changes color due to exposure to oxygen. From green to beautiful blue.
Try other techniques, such as tie deying!
