Inspired by Caitlin Ffrench's book Gathering Colour, I planted indigo in my #CommunityGarden plot this year. I can't be arsed to deal with an indigo vat in our apartment, so I experimented with fresh leaf indigo dyeing.
Some things I learned:
1. Salt & whole leaves mashed into the fabric (the shawls at each end) yielded bluer tones; blender slurry with cold water & salt (the scarves in the middle & the yarn) gave greener tones.
