DIY Indigo dyeing- A how to thread

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I wasn't satisfied with the color so I did a couple more dunks @Paul9221 I'll keep you posted.

Socks turned out nice.

Wow, those socks DO look great!

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

@Filthy That shirt looks bad ass!!!  I also really like the bandana.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

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.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

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.

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