Quick question: is it extra hard to indigo-dye wool? I'm curious why we see so little indigo wool (I know Andersen-Andersen does it, but I haven't seen it elsewhere much)?

Hey, I'm looking for a proxy in the US that will receive and forward a patch. Shipping is crazy expensive but as it's only a patch I think it's cheaper to go with a standard letter.
Any help is highly appreciated.

I’m speculating here, but wool has naturally occurring  water resistant properties and indigo is water soluble. Perhaps these two things present a challenge when dying? Cotton on the other hand sucks in water and doesn’t release it easily.

Anybody have any denim/fabric scraps or remnants they might be willing to part with? My 666N are about ready for another round of repairs and I'm hoping to be able to change up some of what they're being patched with.

I'm all ears, and not very picky in this case. The more varied the better actually. I still have about a leg and a half of the hickory stripe, but will take whatever you'd part with. Just let me know what you'd need/want to make something happen.
