Shibori & Indigo Dye Kit (includes dyeables!)

Get ready to get blue!

Indigo is one of the oldest dyes used for coloring fabrics and the one still used today to color blue jeans. It's a unique plant-based dye that provides for a simple, fun, and unique dyeing process on fabrics made from natural fibers, such as cotton, silk, and rayon.
