      I don't know enough about the chemistry of this to be sure, but I have a feeling oxygen plays a role in indigo dyeing? In which case that may be the issue with a vacuum chamber.

        Because the whole point about rope dyeing is that the indigo oxidises on the surface of the yarn and does not penetrate to the core.

        That is why blue jeans fade to white….

          Ah, I see, that makes sense. I had assumed that the multiple dips were to help the dye penetrate. Instead, I suppose it is to create additional layers of dye on the outside while keeping the core untouched?
