DIY Indigo dyeing- A how to thread
-
Sure any time! @goosehd
-
@Haddtoo 555 I have just purchased another indigo kit if you still want me to dye you something… I plan on dying this shirt next week.
-
I dyed some of my shit with natural indigo this time…
Looks like I got a good deep color there but I hope it isn't splotchy because I didn't follow the instructions and just went for it based on my previous knowledge…
-
I wasn't satisfied with the color so I did a couple more dunks @Paul9221 I'll keep you posted.
Socks turned out nice.

Cotton bandana

Epic work on the socks Mike. Now you can have indigo stains on the inside AND outside of your shoes
-
Final product, I washed the fuckout of it in synthropol to get all of the fugitive indigo out. Used way too much and I had to wash it three times to get all the suds out of the washer
Fresh out of the dryer

Thanks. Seems like I could have used a tad less iron for a bluer color. I also should have played it flat instead of hanging it up because you can see where the shirt got darker as it dries… But I guess it's pretty sweet. I like it.
-
Mike, I like that subtle gradient actually. What I wouldn't like and would be most worried about would be blotchy inconsistencies. I also think the tone is cool, it's something different.
I look forward to seeing your Smurf feet when you wear those socks
Really admire your DIY spirit @Filthy
I may try to do some tie dyes with indigo since some of the ingredients like soda ash are the same.
-
I only dipped the socks once to avoid this problem. Thanks a lot man.
-
I like how irregular the dye is. I think the shirt looks great. You're getting really proficient at this, @Filthy.
-
Really like the bandanna Mike

Does anyone have overdye advice/instructions? If I got the 292 to sulphur dye one myself? Looks like dye, salt, hot water. Time
